Two questions about B2W2's Hidden Grottos?

Question

First: Can Pokémon in hidden grottos have non-hidden abilities?

Second: Does the "Met at" location mention that the Pokémon was caught in the grotto, or does it just say the Route the grotto is located on?

Thank you in advance.

You should ask these as two separate questions.

Doesn't appear like they can. Source: https://www.serebii.net/black2white2/hiddengrotto.shtml

Answer 1

Can Pokémon in hidden grottos have non-hidden abilities?

No.

Hidden Ability (Bulbapedia)

Does the "Met at" location mention that the Pokémon was caught in the grotto, or does it just say the Route the grotto is located on?

The Pokemon's met location will display as "Hidden Grotto" and not mention the route at all. Below is a Dunsparce I caught as proof—please excuse the poor image quality.

Lol thanks! I do my best. I hate making items dirty, especially game consoles, so I usually play with something covering my hands. I also have a small cloth I use to wipe down the screen when it gets too dusty :P
