Answer 1:
No sorry, he wasn't shot in the eye. Instead Harald Hadraada was shot in the eye by one of the Normans archers on horseback. "but what about Harold Godwinson?" He was already dead after previously fighting Harald Hadraada
Answer 2:
Sorry you're a little mistaken here, your source for the arrow to the eye incident is the Bayeux tapestry, a Norman inspired production, depicting the battle of Hasting, intended for Bayeux in France. It was constructed in England and shows Harold Godwinson shot in the eye (but also trampled by a horse which has led to some ambiguity with regards to how he actually died). Hardraada was driven off before The Battle of Hastings at which Godwinson was present; he did not die before the battle of Hastings.
