Any difference between naître and connaître conjugations in present tense?

In this page: https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/irregular-re-verbs/, naître is included in "Really irregular -re verbs" instead of being grouped with "7) Verbs like connaître". Just wondering if there is a difference in present tense conjugations between the two that I'm missing?

Both forms correct?Hello, I translated "she misses Jacques" as "Jacques manque à elle". It was marked wrong, and the correct answer is "Jacques lui manque". Why am I wrong?

COD or COI

I stumbled across a French grammar exercise and I don't understand the solution. "Tu as appelé tes parents? Oui, je leur ai téléphoné ce matin." I thought that we always used COD with appeler quelqu'un, so is there a mistake or what is the exception? Why is this not the case here?
