1) Regeneration does indeed come from Hashirama's cells. It is stated throughout the manga and databook. And it empowers the character to higher lengths such as enabling Orochimaru gaining enough power to suppress the second Hokage.

2) Mayfly is wood release. Stated in the Manga and Databook. Don't know where you're pulling your information from seeing as how you called it Earth Release. Also when used, you're signature cannot be tracked by even a sensory shinobi. You also merge with the ground and can still observe your surroundings. I suggest you do the proper research before talking about the subject. I don't see how that ability is "useless" when Orochimaru can literally phase into the ground whenever he desires and Minato will never be able to detect where he's going to come from next. Then it has high speed movement to allow the person to appear anywhere they desire in high speeds. Orochimaru can literally use this, and strike Minato from his blind spot whenever he desires. Or when Minato tries to cover the terrain with his kunai. Orochimaru can easily use it to remove the kunai safely or move to another location. That's just many of the perks of one ability from Wood Release.
