Answer 1

You can use inspector to get current email as follow.

 Outlook.Inspector inspector = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveInspector();
            if (inspector != null)
            {
                Outlook.MailItem  mi = inspector.CurrentItem as Outlook.MailItem;

              //Then identify whether email sender is exchange user or normal user
               string senderEmail=null;
               if (mi.SenderEmailType == "EX")
                {
                senderEmail = mi.Sender.GetExchangeUser().PrimarySmtpAddress;                    
                 }
              else
                {
                 senderEmail=mi.SenderEmailAddress;
                }
             }

you will get sender email in senderEmail variable.
