Answer 1

you can get the original price by

echo $this->helper('checkout')->formatPrice($_item->getOriginalPrice()) ;

or

echo $this->helper('checkout')->formatPrice($_item->getBaseOriginalPrice()) ;

or you can get product price

echo $this->helper('checkout')->formatPrice($_item->getProdcut()->getPrice()) ;

Answer 2

you can do this steps this always works for me

$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_item->getProductId‌​());
echo $product->getPrice();
