Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Yes, 98 and 99 would be treated the same. Sometimes these codes appear (in many surveys) even though they are not in the label for the codes.

Yes, bidx is 1 for the most recent birth. If it was a twin birth, the second twin has bidx=1 and the first twin has bidx=2. There is also a variable b0 for each birth which tells whether the child was part of a multiple birth, and if so, which number within the multiple birth.
