Answer 1

Your ItemDataBound handler should look like :

protected void dl_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
    {
        var myDropDownList = e.Item.FindControl("YourDropDownListID") as DropDownList;
        int currentItemID = int.Parse(this.dl.DataKeys[e.Item.ItemIndex].ToString());

        myDropDownList.DataSource = GetDDLDataSource(currentItemID);
        myDropDownList.DataBind();
    }
}
