To add a 301 redirect simply add a redirect item to the Redirect Items folder found in your site Global folder.
To change the item version limit edit the rule on the /sitecore/system/Settings/Rules/Item Saved/Rules/Delete Old Versions item. You can also change the rule to recycle or archive old versions.
