Answer 1

You can always use JSON.

Json is the fastest data transfer mode across network, so your webservice should return data in Json format.

Once you have Json you can always render it and use it as needed.

Here is example to render data http://www.tutorialspoint.com/android/android_json_parser.htm

Answer 2

You can create a WCF REST web service

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms731082(v=vs.110).aspx

or an easier way is to create a new MVC4 web application, and update your Controller to extend Api Controller, then create a new web method that will return a HttpResponseMessasge like so:

public class MyController : ApiController
{
    public HttpResponseMessage MyWebMethod()
    {
        HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";

        HttpContext.Current.Response.Write([WRITE YOUR JSON HERE]);

        return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
    }
}
