Phone Answers When I Pick It Up. Can't Figure Out How To Go Back To Swipe-To-Answer

I have a question that I can't figure out for my ZTE Maven Z812 Running Android 51.
I apologize if the answer is in plain sight. I searched here & general internet searches and came up empty. There were lots of answers for other versions and models, but none of the places to set this were available for my phone.

When the phone rings, if I pick it up, the call is answered. Perhaps I am hitting a button or the screen when I pick it up. I'd like to go back to where I have to swipe down to answer.
(I get a lot of junk calls that I don't answer.) I don't remember it ever doing this in the past.

I searched the phone settings up and down without results; but I did find lots of interesting settings in the process.

Do you all know how to take away touch-and-answer?

And, if I may sneak in another question: When I am on a call and the screen locks I have to unlock the screen to hang up. Is this avoidable, or is it a permanent feature?

Thanks Very Much For The Education!
