Two rule issues: "Discard a power" and "discard a minion"

I was playing munchkin bites the other night, and I experienced some issues regarding two of the cards.

The first one was a curse card: "Lose a power: You must discard one power"
Okay, so when you draw this curse face up or recieve it face up from another player, you lose a power. So far so good.
But, does this curse only affect the powers that are active? Or can you acctually choose to discard a power from your hand.
I know that the rules says that curses NEVER affect any items on your hand if it does not spesifically say so, but a power is not an item.
The other thing to think about, is that the rules refer to "discarding" (for instance when you discard cards to acitivate a power abiulity), as discarding cards from BOTH hand and carried, as you prefer.
So, when you must discard a power, can you choose to discard one from your hand, and save the one active?

Second question. There is a card that is a "minion slayer". Discard a minion (does not need to be your own). At the bottom of the card, it says "Go up a level". Now, who goes up a level? The one who got his minion killed, or the killer - regardles if it was his own or someone elses munchkin?
