Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

i.setData(Uri.parse(url));

startActivity(i);

Use the market:// URL syntax from the Android developer documentation:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=org.scid.android"));
startActivity(intent);

No you can't, very accurately. You could try and get the Activity names of the Android Market app, but it's not a sure-shot way to do this stuff.

These are implicit intents, and since the data type is a URL, it's obvious that you will be presented with an options dialog.
