Answer 1

Zip your file (.zip) and IE will give the user the option to open or download the file.

Answer 2

You could configure this in your http-Header

httpResponse.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/force-download");
        httpResponse.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
                               "attachment;filename="
                               + "MyFile.pdf");
