Answer 1

you need a connection string that works fine during development. On your development machine if the application is connecting fine to the database server, chances are that on your client machine, it would work as well. Sometimes, the problem occurs with the credentials that you use, that might work on the development machine but on the client it wont connect due to the lack of access rights. so you need to make sure that you give proper credentials to connect to the SQL server

Answer 2

You don't need to do any rocket science for this. All you need to do is on the client side use the proper connection string that can connect to a remotely installed SQL Server.

Answer 3

Use EntityFramework for your sql server connection for updating, inserting and deleting. Use storedprocedures for the insert/update/delete functions.
