Answer 1

If your using the sessionState property of ASP.NET 2.0 Then you can adjust the timeout in your web.config

<sessionState 
mode="InProc" 
stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424" 
stateNetworkTimeout="10" 
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Integrated Security=SSPI" 
sqlCommandTimeout="30" 
customProvider="" 
cookieless="UseCookies" 
cookieName="ASP.NET_SessionId" 
timeout="20"  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< HERE
allowCustomSqlDatabase="false" 
regenerateExpiredSessionId="true" 
partitionResolverType="" 
useHostingIdentity="true">
<providers>
  <clear />
</providers>
 </sessionState>

Have a peek at the MSDN Documentation of the sessionState attribute
