Answer 1

As suggested in comments, you should patch the \maketitle command where the space is defined as (in moderncvstylebanking.sty)

.
.
.
\flushmaketitle}\\[2.5em]} 

in the last line. Hence add

\xpatchcmd{\maketitle}
  {\\[2.5em]}
  {\\[10pt]} % or whatever: space above the quote
  {}{} 

in the preamble to change that space.
