Answer 1

You could make some Hatley-Pirbhai models:

Answer 2

doxygen can generate call- and caller graphs automatically - if that suits your needs.

Answer 3

It's not because the implementation (or even the design) is procedural, that the business model is.

Though you may not find explicit reference to classes in your code, they may still be there, hidden, scattered through global variables etc, functions manipulating some globals, ...

So in order to describe your app, you may still be able to use a (conceptual) class diagram.
