Answer 1

Is there a way to change the session of a windows service and get the desktop screen of another user's session like session 1, session 2?

No.

Is there a way to start a console application which runs in an another session other than session 0 from a windows service?

This can be done but it's messy. It involves impersonation of the logged on user, manipulation of user tokens, and launching a process into a different session with CreateProcessAsUser(). This article describes what is needed.

As an aside, you don't want a console application because that will splat a console window on your screenshot. You just want a standard Windows app (using the GUI subsystem) but one that does not show any visible windows.
