Yep. Both are correct.

most of the grammar guides/mla style guides etc within the past decade do not object to ending a sentence with a preposition. (if you're interested to know more, these types of rules were invented by one person named Robert Lowth in 1806 more or less on a whim)
I can tell you that the first one sound MUCH more natural, but if you are around certain types of people who buy into prescriptive grammar, they would consider the second way to be "technically correct" The second one is only appropriate for very formal writing.

Yes, both are correct. A dangling preposition is an error "up with which I will not put". The quote is attributed to Winston Churchill.
