Answer 1

You have to put @ in front of the file path, so it knows you're referencing to a file. And yes, you're doing it the right way. The Graph API supports only local file upload.

Answer 2

It hard to give a concrete solution without the context though..

First look at the example from facebook . Note that image parameter name is source (not picture as in your url).

Second look at this question in second answer you will find method that help you to send image.

Just use it something like this:

NameValueCollection nvc = new NameValueCollection();    
nvc.Add("access_token", "GENERATED TOKEN");    
nvc.Add("message", "MESSAGE TO SEND");    
HttpUploadFile("https://graph.facebook.com/album_id/photos",          
@"D:\foldername\Image\flower.jpg", "source", "image/jpeg", nvc);
