Answer 1

This depends on whether you want it entirely in SharePoint or whether you are simply surfacing another system via SharePoint. For example, your clients and projects may be in SharePoint lists or they may be held in another database entirely and just displayed in SharePoint via web parts. Both are valid approaches depending on your requirements.

Assuming you want it in SharePoint, Microsoft has released 40 application templates that you can install to show you how they have approached certain problems, project tracking being one of them. Maybe this will help get you started.
