Answer 1

Named pipes are one of many interprocess communication protocol. I think the wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_pipes explain them well.

In sql-server named pipes are one of the method of communication between the client and the server, you could specify a connection string that use named pipes to get to the server.
