Difference of dipole moments of dichloromethane and trichloromethane?

Why is the dipole moment of $\\ce{CH2Cl2}$ ($1.60 ~\\mathrm{D}$) greater than that of $\\ce{CHCl3}$ ($1.08~\\mathrm{D}$)? Based on my knowledge of vectors, I feel it should be the other way around.

Which molecule is more polar?

p-methoxystyrene or p-cresol (p-methylphenol)?   I think p-cresol (p-methylphenol) would be more polar because of the OH. Conformation would be greatly appreciated!
