1. Hold on, you've lost me there, with all those Is and Ys and Js :-)
Here's a link that gives the transliteration in the "Lateinische Translit." column:
http://www.uni-koeln.de/themen/fremdsprachig/cyr/russisch/rustranslit.html
(Ignore the Duden-Transkript. column, that's how it's done non-scholarly in German)

Basically, "i kratkoe" is represented by j. Then there are letter combinations ju and ja for the last two letters of the Russian alphabet. And that Russian middle vowel in ty, my, vy is represented by y.

2. No effect on the stress.
