They're Norman French spellings. Americans use revised classicist spellings in those cases but Brits preserve the full dipthongs such as ae and oe.

Looking at it more closely it appears connexion is more correct in this case.

Etymology

late 14c., variant of British English connexion, from English conneccion, later connexioun (mid-15c.), from Old French connexion, from Latin connexionem (nominative connexio (“a conclusion, binding together”)), from connectō, an alternative spelling of cōnectō (“I bind together”), from compound of co- (“together”) and nectō (“I bind”)

In American English mid-18c., spelling shifted from connexion to connection (equivalent to connect + -ion), thus making connexion British dated and connection in international use.

It's closer to the classical Latin formation. "Connection" is a later construct.

False. That is a diairesis mark, not an umlaut. The diairesis is attested as far back as Attic Greek if not farther, and signifies the seperation of a dipthong into its component vowel sounds.

Yes indeed, it's better than not being able to read works from someplace several towns over in a country the size of Alabama. Learn from the Chinese.
