Madan Lal of India faced the first ball in cricket test match. The match was between India and England.
Anil Kumble holds the world record for the most number of 'caught-and-bowled' (35 dismissals) in Test Matches.
In Test Cricket it was Waqar Younis bowled for 15.
By illegitimate, I presume you refer to a no-ball or a wide. Under current rules an over contains 6 balls. Some years back, 8-ball overs were used in Australia if nowhere else. For an over to be complete, 6-balls not including a wide or no-ball must be bowled. If an illegitimate ball is bowled, it must be rebowled. The most illegitimate balls bowled in one over was an over bowled by Curtly Ambrose in his final test on Australian soil which contained 9 no-balls - a total of 15 balls.
In one day cricket the ball is white, in a test match the ball will be red.

Curtly Ambrose of West Indies bowled the longest over in test cricket against Australia in Perth in the 1996-97 series. He bowled 15 ball over which included 9 no balls.The longest over in ODI is 17 ball over by Mohammad Sami of pakistan against Bangadesh which included 7 wides and 4 no balls.
Generally red ball in test matches and white ball in limited over cricket.
