Answer 1

ListViewItem selItem = ListView1.SelectedItems[0];
Console.WriteLine(selItem.SubItems[0].Text);
Console.WriteLine(selItem.SubItems[1].Text);

Answer 2

Update. Try add to your Form3 window method:

public void SetData(string name, string email)
{
    textBox1.Text = name;
    textBox2.Text = email;
}

next, update your updateToolStripMenuItem_Click event handler to:

updateToolStripMenuItem_Click(...)
{
    Form3 update = new Form3();
    ListViewItem selectedItem = listView1.SelectedItems[0];
    update.SetData(selectedItem.SubItems[0].Text, selectedItem.SubItems[1].Text);
    update.ShowDialog();            
}

finally, clear content of Form3_Load(...)

Answer 3

Try to create a properties from your Form3

public string OldName {get;set;}
public string OldEmail {get;set;}

Then, from your From1

updateToolStripMenuItem_Click(...)
{
    using(var update = new Form3())
    {
        var firstCol = listView.SelectedItems[0].Text;
        update.OldName = listView.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[1].Text;
        update.OldEmail = listView.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[2].Text;
        update.ShowDialog();     
    } 
}

Then, in Form3 looks like this

Form3_Load(...)
{
    textBox1.Text = OldName;
    textBox2.Text = OldEmail;
}
