Wrong VS Code highlighting, how to adjust?

Question

Visual Studio Code

Hello! Today I decided to master this editor and immediately noticed a strange highlight.
1) In HTML files, the lines of the beginning and end of tags do not highlight the current tag on which the cursor is, but the parent one, can this be configured somehow?

2) In PHP files where there is HTML markup, for some reason all the same words are highlighted if the cursor is set to this word. In a regular file where there is only HTML code or only PHP code, this effect is only when you double-click on a word ... but here I just put the cursor on the word and "the whole sky is in parrots") Is it possible to configure this too?

1) in settings.json add a section:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        "editorIndentGuide.background": "#00ff00",
        "editorIndentGuide.activeBackground": "#ff0000",
}

this will override any of your current theme settings.
the stripes highlight the active indent, not the paired tag.

most importantly, there are two sections with settings (general and editor) and they are written a little differently:

workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        "editor.foreground": "#d4d4d4"
},
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations":{
 "textMateRules": [
          {
              "name": "operator logical",
              "scope": "keyword.operator.logical",
              "settings": {
                "foreground": "#eeaf51"
              }
           }
]
}
