1. The narrator is Nick. He comes from a somewhat-wealthy class and attended Yale. He moves to the West Egg in New York City in a cheap (at least, cheap for that area) $80/month "eyesore" of a house. He is somewhat apologetic to new people he meets and in a way judgmental (to Tom), which contradicts what he says at the beginning of not being judgmental.
2. By having the story told in 1st person, it's more personal and flows better in a story-telling way. This is like a normal person's point of view, making the story more relatable.
