The second question: What is the ruling on praying with a picture? And what must the praying person do if he remembers it during the prayer?

The prayer is valid, even if he has a picture with him, such as banknotes or documents. The prayer is valid, but he should avoid carrying pictures if he has no need for them, such as for mementos or the like. As for pictures that he needs, there is nothing wrong with him keeping them with him and praying with them, just as with money that has a picture on it, or documents that he needs, or the like. Yes.
