Answer 1

Windows.Devices namespace has a wealth of information about device capabilities. For example to determine if the device is touch enabled, you can use:

var hasTouch = Windows.Devices.Input
                  .PointerDevice.GetPointerDevices()
                  .Any(p => p.PointerDeviceType == Windows.Devices.Input.PointerDeviceType.Touch);
