Answer 1

Based from this SO question , using Drive API seems to only let you create new empty files with the spreadsheet MIME type. The Drive API is only concerned with operations at the whole file level. It is only possible in Google Drive to upload the created spreadsheet.

You can use Google Sheets API (formerly called the Google Spreadsheets API) which lets you develop client applications that create, read and modify worksheets and data in Google Sheets. This API can manage the worksheets in a Google Sheets file. You should strongly consider using a GData client library to interact with the API. Follow the following steps here to setup a development environment for working with the Sheets API.

Answer 2

You can create a spreadsheet via Drive API by calling files.create() with mimeType=application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet and uploading a CSV file. See Importing to Google Docs Types where there's a Java sample.
