Answer 1

While sourceSets allows you to include entire directory structures, there's no way to exclude parts of it in Android Studio (as of version 1.2), as described here: Android Studio Exclude Class from build?

Until Android Studio gets updated to support include/exclude directives for Android sources, Symlinks work quite well. If you're using Windows, native tools such as junction or mklink can accomplish the equivalent of Un*x symlinks. CygWin can also create these with a little coersion.
