You literally need to have your eye on them 24/7 and when you can't... in the crate/pen they go.

Is your male neutered? If he is marking, he probably is not. Getting him neutered may or may not solve the problem at his age. I think you need to be really consistent. They are probably confused because you are allowing them to both go in the house (on pads) and outside. Personally, I would pick one or the other, or they may always be confused.

GREAT advice on the potty training issue. I catch Selphie trying to chew on my cabinets too. Have you tried to use bitter spray? I do not let Selphie free roam when I am gone either, but the husband feels bad to pen her up so he will--and that is a disaster. So as a precaution I spray that stuff on EVERYTHING!
