Answer 1

prism:ViewModelLocator.AutoWireViewModel="True" sets the DataContext of the PersonUserControl to a view model which means that the binding to the properties of the PersonModel object that you create in the MainWindowViewModel fails.
So you should remove prism:ViewModelLocator.AutoWireViewModel="True" from the XAML markup.
