Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
1. I have not heard of the story
2. The general principal is when one enters a good place , for example the masjid, he should enter with the right foot and when one exists such a place, it should be with the left foot. The same rule applies when entering and leaving ones house.
And Allah knows best
