Answer 1

You can use the Joomla! extension Akeeba Backup to back-up the website. Then download that back-up to your PC and use Akeeba's tool Kickstart to install the site on your local PC. You will of course also need to run a web server, PHP, and MySQL on your machine such as the package that comes in XAMPP.
