can you try this:

index=_internal  
| timechart count
| eval _time=strftime(_time,"%m/%d")
| outputcsv hola

For 1) you could use a workaround in the search and transform the _time field like this

 index=maillog 
 | timechart span=1d,count(eval(IP=×××)) as IP1
 | eval _time=strftime(_time, "%Y-%m-%d")
 | outputcsv IP1

Regarding 2), I don't understand your need here.

hello there,
_time is in epoch
try something like this:

index = <your_index> sourcetype=<your_sourcetype>
| bin _time span=1d 
| eval _time = strftime(_time, "%m/%d")
| stats count(eval(IP="IP1")) as IP_CSV by _time
| outputcsv IP1

hope it helps

as a side note, if you are only looking at that IP, better practice would be to filter to it first:
... your search ... IP=IP1 | ... more sstuff ... | stats count as IP1
