You can develop an Outlook add-in or just automate Outlook from an external application to get the job done. The Outlook 2013 developer reference section in MSDN describes all the necessary information for developers.

See Walkthrough: Creating Your First Application-Level Add-in for Outlook to get started with an add-in. And the How to automate Outlook and Word by using Visual C# .NET to create a pre-populated e-mail message that can be edited page describes how to automate Outlook (C# app automates Outlook (CSAutomateOutlook)).

To find items that correspond to your conditions use the Find/FindNext or Restrict methods of the Items class.

Sure, set MailItem.UnRead property to false.
