Answer 1

The Windows Azure Tools update from Augustus 2010 has now integrated MVC3 support so there shouldn't be anything else you need to do besides making a Azure Solution and adding a MVC3 Web Role.

I just had to do this recently. You can create an MVC3 web app just like you normally would, and then later, you can add a new Azure project to your solution and then add a WebRole for the existing MVC3 app. It worked without any issues.

Hope this helps.
