Answer 1

Wikipedia has an article on the protocol including references to the various relevant RFCs. So I would suggest starting there, and write a server and client :) If you have specific issues either with interpreting the documentation or writing the code, then post a question, but as DarkDust says, "please do my assignment for me" questions aren't usually well-received here.

That's a ton of telnet client/server implementations written on C out there. Google can easily find it for you. For instance, try searching for: telnet.c

Also, take a look at this thread for information on telnet servers:
