Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
First of all, you should know that in principle a woman should stay at home, as Allaah Says [about women] (what means): {And stay in your houses.}[Quran 33:33] Undoubtedly, this is safer for her religion and honour.
If a woman needs to go out of her home, she must observe the religious requirements, among which is to avoid the places where men and women mix together, like in the means of transportation. Hence, she is obliged to use another means of transportation where men and women are not mixed. If she does not find any and she must go out, it is permissible for her to travel using these means of transportation and she should fear Allaah as much as she can; she should avoid touching men or sitting next to them, and so forth.
For more benefit, please refer to Fataawa 91763 and 83953.
As regards your second question, getting angry is caused by the devil, and it is one of his means in plotting against the human being. For more benefit on some guidelines in avoiding getting angry and its effects, please refer to Fatwa 88764.
Moreover, you should take it easy and try to find an excuse for your husband not contacting you, as there might be a reason which prevented him from doing so; indeed this may happen quite a lot.
Finally, you should know that a wife has the right to ask her husband to be just between her and his second wife. The scholars 
stated that the husband is obliged to be just between his two wives who are residing in different countries according to his ability.
