1. Inside it? 'A hole' is the standard answer to the question of what to 'add' to the box.
Alternatively, you could fill the box with some gas that is lighter than air.
2. He is a dwarf who can reach the 50th floor lift button when returning only by using his umbrella.

For 1, the answer I've heard is a candle.
