1 - In fact, in the chord sheet, you have Emaj7 and Emaj7*.

Emaj7 refers to a chord with open string. Used in the intro and in Verse1 of the song 'Yellow'
Emaj7* refers to a chord played at the 9th fret. Used in the Chorus1. It sounds different that the first one.

So, * is a typo convention to distinguish the two chords.

Note also that the chords diagrams refers to a NON-standard tune of the guitar (E A B G B D#).

2 - About Badd11
This chord is realized B F# B D# E, that is a B chord + E note.
It is not a conventional chord you can find in a basic music theory manual. This chord is possible to play due to the special tuning of the guitar used for this song (2nd B and D# are open strings). Furthermore, the E note is not really a 11th because it is played just a 1/2 tone above the D#.
