Answer 1

May be Windows Power Management from MSDN would be helpful. But it deals with system events rather than per process.

For a process, you would be able to detect termination with WM_CLOSE. You would need to handle windows messages. If it's a console application you would need to install a control handler; take a look at SetConsoleCtrlHandler on MSDN
