Answer 1

This is how to find workspace when you have server path:

  Workspace[] workspaces = _versionControl.QueryWorkspaces(null, Environment.UserName, Environment.MachineName);
  return workspaces.FirstOrDefault(w => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(w.TryGetLocalItemForServerItem(ConstDefaultFlowsTfsPath)));

Where ConstDefaultFlowsTfsPath is server path with "$" for instance : "$/MyCompany/Services/DiagnosticsFlows"

You could also replace the last line to:

return workspaces.FirstOrDefault(w => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(w.GetServerItemForLocalItem(myLocalPath)));

and that should work for you too.
