The first is already implemented. Not sure about the second.

You are right it's possible to choose between Hpa and inHg in the EFP parameter page but it seems that this setting has no effect on the weather indication for origine and destination airport: QNH is indicated in Hpa even if the Metar which is printed on board use inHg

It depends which METAR source you select. The text comes through raw from the source. If you select MSFS for example you will get right now: KLAX 131253Z VRB03KT 10SM FEW008 19/16 A3002 RMK AO2 SLP163 T01890156 = 30.02 in.Hg.

-e- wait, you mean the QNH shown on the main page of the EFB? You are right... it is hardcoded to mBar/hPa for some reason. https://github.com/flybywiresim/a32nx/blob/ea667a2b748d1d1ae4f917202706239ae4c126bc/src/instruments/src/EFB/Dashboard/Widgets/WeatherWidget.tsx#L140

Your second request is covered by https://github.com/flybywiresim/a32nx/issues/4601, so I have edited your title to cover just the EFB QNH issue. Please check existing issues, and also open multiple issues, one per request.
