This website should give you the information you need:
Silverlight 2 - Webservices Part II - User defined type

Answer 3

This isn't a problem. The User object you use on the client side will not be the same as the one on the server, but it will have all the same properties, of the same or similar types. It will be a proxy class. Note that it will be in a different namespace. If your Service Reference is named "UserService", then it will be in that namespace.
