Two questions about family sharing, about location (Find my) and on-going subscriptions of family members (iCloud)

I’m setting up family sharing and I noticed I can see the location of a family members phone in Devices tab, but not the persons location in the People tab. This family member has two phones, out of which only one is in use, the other one is not in use (but shows in the list). Is the People location trying to find the old phone and how can I make the newer phone the default for this member?

The other question is about on-going, previous subscriptions. My wife and myself both have iCloud+ subscriptions, will she continue to pay her own sub even if I’m the organizer and I will share purchases mostly so that I can buy apps for kids. Is it possible for adults to have their own payments and purchases, but have me make purchases for kids?

Thanks

Presumably this is something the family member would need to change from their device. From Find people and share your location with Find My - Apple Support:

Share with people

Open the Find My app and select the People tab.
Tap the Add button.
Select Share My Location.
Enter the name or phone number of the person you want to share your location with.
Select Send.
Choose to share your location for One Hour, Until End of Day or Share Indefinitely.

When you share your location with someone, they have the option to share their location back.

When you are part of a family most payments should be taken from any available store credit on your account, and then the organizer's payment method covers anything that cannot be taken from store credit. See How apps, content, and subscriptions from Apple are billed - Apple Support for details.
