Answer 1

It's not just a "simple" thing to do. There are a few frameworks and templates to help but you really need to think about your content and test a lot -

Ink Email Framework

Ink is the latest one on the scene. I've been working with it for about 3 weeks now.

As far as I know -- responsivness is coded with @media. So in order to send a responsive email You need to be sure receiver e-mail service supports @media. For example gmail doesn't seem to support it, and so it is not possible if Your reciever is at gmail. I'm not sure any service is supporting it yet.
