Markov Chain Exercise. A Markov chain has the transition probability matrix
$$P=
        \begin{bmatrix}
        0.7 & 0.2 & 0.1 \\
        0 & 0.6 & 0.4 \\
        0.5 & 0 & 0.5 \\
        \end{bmatrix}.
$$
Let us number the states $0,1,2$.
Now I have to determine (a) the conditional probability $Pr{\{X_2=1,X_3=1|X_1=0\}}$
(b) If it is known that the process starts in state $X_0=1$, what is the probability $Pr{\{X_0=1,X_1=0,X_2=2\}}$ ?
My Attempt:
(a) $$Pr{\{X_2=1,X_3=1|X_1=0\}}=Pr{\{X_2=1|X_1=0\}}Pr{\{X_3=1|X_1=0\}}=(0.2)Pr{\{X_3=1|X_1=0\}},$$
for calculating $Pr{\{X_3=1|X_1=0\}}$, I need two step transition probability matrix :
$$P^2=
        \begin{bmatrix}
        0.54 & 0.26 & 0.2 \\
        0.2 & 0.36 & 0.44 \\
        0.6 & 0.1 & 0.3 \\
        \end{bmatrix}.
$$
Hence  $$Pr{\{X_2=1,X_3=1|X_1=0\}}=(0.2)Pr{\{X_3=1|X_1=0\}}=(0.2)(0.26)=0.052,$$ which doesn't match with the result. Where am I doing mistake ?
(b)$$Pr{\{X_0=1,X_1=0,X_2=2\}}=Pr{\{X_0=1\}}P_{1,0}P_{0,2},$$
where $P_{0,2}$ denotes transition from state $0$ to state $2$ in one step. 
But my question is  the problem hasn't specified the initial distribution, so I am not getting the value of $Pr{\{X_0=1\}}$, consequently not getting $Pr{\{X_0=1,X_1=0,X_2=2\}}$. But the problem has an answer. How can I proceed ?

(a) Since the process if Markov, we can write
$$
P(X_2 = 1, X_3 = 1 \mid X_1 = 0)
    = P(X_2 = 1 \mid X_1 = 0) \cdot P(X_3 = 1 \mid X_2 = 1)
$$
and you only need the transition matrix itself to answer.
(b) If you're given that $X_0 = 1$, then (as Antitheos also points out) $P(X_0 = 1) = 1$, and you can write
\begin{align}
P(X_0 = 1, X_1 = 0, X_2 = 2)
    & = P(X_1 = 0, X_2 = 2 \mid X_0 = 1) \\
    & = P(X_1 = 0 \mid X_0 = 1) \cdot P(X_2 = 2 \mid X_1 = 0)
\end{align}
and you can proceed as before.
