Answer 1

Assuming Outlook is the default email client installed, you can use the mailto prefix in an anchor tag :

<a href="mailto:user@example.com">Send email to user@example.com</a>

Otherwise, your choices may be limited as your web server has no way of opening specific applications on client computers. You may have to develop an ActiveX or Java applet, but this would really be overkill.
