Answer 1

Are you sure that the C++ program needs to interact directly with the MySQL database?

I would suggest having the C++ program communicate with the web server using simple http requests, and let PHP handle the database. Data can be passed to a server-side PHP script via arguments, and data can be returned in XML format.

Writing: your.server.com/add_data.php?table="info"&data="0xFCBD..."

Reading: your.server.com/get_data.php?table="info"
