If you're willing to dig into WinDbg it is fairly easy to find references to a specific object. However, WinDbg is not the easiest tool to use.

This blog has lots of info on using WinDbg.

Not with the default tools that Visual Studio offers you. There are 3rd party "Memory Profilers" out there that will allow you to do this. I have used one myself to hunt down a "memory leak" in a .NET program.

Not without using the profiling/debugger API, as far as I'm aware. (Even with the API, I don't know how to do it.)
