Prvi problem sam riješio sa:

$alias = mb_strtolower($alias, mb_detect_encoding($alias));

a drugi sa:

$query = "SET NAMES 'utf8'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error());

$query = "SET CHARACTER SET utf8";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error());

$query = "SET COLLATION_CONNECTION='utf8_general_ci'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error());

$query = "ALTER DATABASE $dbname DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error());

Zahvaljujem se još jednom na pomoći
