Mg emits radiation at 285nm could a spectroscope be used to detect this emission?

285nm is ultraviolet, and I think with a spectroscope you actually look with your eye to see the emission - you would not be able to see this wavelength. If you put some kind of a film that reacts to UV light in the spectroscope, you could then "see" it as a mark on the film.

What are two kinds of information that astronomers can collect from stars by using spectrographs?

All elements have their own discrete power spectra. To excite a hydrogen atom requires a different amount of energy than to excite a helium atom. The energy of a photon is proportional to its wavelength. So by looking at the wavelengths in the absorption or emission lines in the spectra and comparing them to known energy levels (empirical or quantum mechanic derived) of different elements, a great deal can be said about a stars outer layer.
