Answer 1

Your best bet is to download the OpenXml SDK 2.0 and install. Once installed, check the Tools directory for a tool called DocumentReflector.exe. Using this tool you can "crack open" an existing xslx document (or docx or pptx). Once opened, the application will show you a treeview of the parts, a panel with the xml for a given part and the code required to generate the document from scratch.

This should give you a great start and get you to really understand the SpreadsheetML syntax (I used this tool to learn WordProcessingML and it REALLY helped!).
