  1. Sice D is midpoint of arc AB and I is incenter of triangle ABC we have C, I, D are collinear. Similarly A, I, E are collinear. Then by Pascal's theorem for A, F, C, E, B and D we have G, I, H are collinear.

  2. This problem admits an extension:
    Replace I by any point in the internal region of tr ABC; let X and Y be the touching points of lines AI and BI with the circle. Keep definitions of F, G and H like the original problem. The colineality is still true!
