With practice you will learn what oxidizes and what reduces. To help let me give you the oxidation states and you figures these out for yourself.
Cr is +6 on the left and +3 on the right.
N is -3 on the left and zero on the right.

For the second question, AFTER you have balanced the reactions as far as change of electrons is concerned, don't you usually add H^+ (if acid) or OH^-(if base) and water? So what's the answer.
