well i think Memphis was in the perfect strategic position between upper and lower Egypt and help unite the two kingdoms of Egypt at the time

In addition to being a strategic position for trade (due to it's close proximity to the Nile Delta), it also made sense for the king, who came from Upper Egypt (Southern Egypt) to establish a command position in Lower Egypt. Having already power and influence in Southern Egypt, his presence in the North solidified his kingship and allowed him to be closer to this newer part of the kingdom.

Yes, because if they did not combine the two crowns, then upper and lower egypt would probably start a war, since the Menes did this, they are combined as one with the same leader.
