In my application I am uploading data to the server by serializing objects and using a HttpWebRequest/POST request

Answer 1

Use System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode (based on this answer):

        value = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(value)
            .Replace("!", "%21")
            .Replace("(", "%28")
            .Replace(")", "%29")
            .Replace("*", "%2A")
            .Replace("%7E", "~"); // undo escape
