Two questions about scrolls and caster level

#1 Let say i have a level 4 wizard with 13+ intel, if i'm correct i could use a level 5 fireball scroll needing only to succed on a caster level check DC 6?
If the same scroll was level 10 (max for fireball) the said DC would be 11?
This is somewhat ridiculous because i would succed on a 2+ for first scroll or 7+ for the second one.

I'm clearly missing something here!

#2 Can i create scrolls with lower level then normaly possible in order sell to "rather poor" customers?
For exemple can i scribe a level 1 fireball scroll (1D6 only)?

Yes.

Scrolls: "If she meets all three requirements but her own caster level is lower than the scroll spell's caster level, then she has to make a caster level check (DC = scroll's caster level + 1) to cast the spell successfully."

No.

Magic Item Creation: "A creator can create an item at a lower caster level than her own, but never lower than the minimum level needed to cast the needed spell."
