Answer 1

You can use Reflector tool which is a Red Gate Product. Check out: http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/

Answer 2

You mean reverse compiling code? You'll have to be mindful of the law when doing all types of decompiling, but tools like Ada PRO will help you do that.

Keep in mind when you decompile code, you're going to get assembly code that you'll have to further decompile (sometimes by hand) into something like C or C++.

Answer 3

Use reflector tool for .net
