Regarding the recommendations, you could have conversations with the specific profs you have in mind while still in college and tell them about your future plans. Then later when the time comes, you can email them a request but also provide some text describing yourself and what you have been doing an/or some bullet points (with your course and overall grades, your paper topic if you wrote one in that class) and even a photo. It is not unusual for profs to be asked to write a letter a couple of years later and ideally it would be a prof who remembers you. It really isn’t a big issue.
