Answer 1

I am afraid there is no automatic way to do that in asp.net, you'll have to roll your own.

An alternative to that could be using a runat="server" table in the first place, that way you already have a table.

For sending an email in html format this link might help.

Answer 2

If some money is an available option, buy this component: http://www.aspnetemail.com/ It supports adding asp.net control into the mail content.

Another option might be to use an HtmlTextWriter and retrieve rendered html code for the gridview.
