Answer 1

The path in the inner exception looks correct: \"Content\\Round.xnb\", the extra slashes are just because it's escaped. This is a relative path from your executable, be default it's something like: Visual Studio Projects\MyCoolGame\MyCoolGame\bin\x86\Debug\Content\Round.xnb. You should be comparing this path to the the real path to the Round.xnb file, not the png.
If Round.xnb does not exist anywhere, then your png file isn't part of Content project, or the Content project isn't being built
If the file does exist, but is in a subdirectory, specify the name of the subdirectory when you load the texture like: Content.Load<Texture2D>("myDir\\Round");
Since the inner exception isn't looking for "Round.png.xnb", you have your names up correctly and #Ricket's answer won't help you any further.

Answer 2

I'm assuming you correctly put the Round.png file in your Content directory (or project) and it's being compiled properly, as per default settings.
Right-click the file and open its properties. Check the "Name" field. That's what Content.Load<> is expecting. So for example, if you drag a file called "Circular.png" into the Content folder, then it will be auto-named "Circular", but if you rename the file to "Round.png", typically it will remain named "Circular", leaving you to manually change the name in the properties and update all references in your code.
