From my own website programmatically POST a video on my user's Facebook Wall

I keep finding posts about preparing websites to be "postable" within the Facebook Status update (like with a youtube link that when typed from on the Facebook Status Update edit box and it will display in your TimeLine).

What I need is the opposite:
From my own website, I would like to have a button that when clicked, it should automatically post a specific video that is hosted within my website (or I could post a specific webpage that has the video inside).

What's the process to accomplish that?

Do I need Open Graph?
Do I need an Facebook App?
Do I need to use FQL?
Can I achieve this solely using FB Javascript SDK?
Should I use FacebookSDK for .Net (I'm using Asp.MVC and C#)?

Please any help would be truly appreciated.
I'm so lost on this one !!

Do I need Open Graph?

The Graph API is the primary way to get data in and out of Facebook's social graph. It's a low-level HTTP-based API that you can use to query data, post new stories, upload photos and a variety of other tasks that an app might need to do.

How to Use Graph Api Take a look at FB Docs. The Graph API and Quick Start

Do I need an Facebook App?

You need to create facebook app. Its required for authentication purpose. when you read and write its must need access. If you create you will get APP ID and APP Secret ID to give the access.

Go Here and get logged in and Create an APP.

Should I use FacebookSDK for .Net (I'm using Asp.MVC and C#)?

If you are okay to go with C# with ASP.NET then in FaceBook Official site they are suggesting many third parties SDK which is free. For Authentication, File Upload and Download you can use the SDK. Click here to Go

Can I achieve this solely using FB Javascript SDK?

I'm not sure whether you can use FB Javascript SDK for uploading. I just guess you can't use. Take a look how they are using FB Javascript SDK.

Do I need to use FQL?

Facebook Query Language, or FQL, enables you to use a SQL-style interface to query the data exposed by the Graph API. It provides advanced features not available in the Graph API.
