Answer 1

For development, I think you should use some third party library or open office source for developing such kind of application.

Or you can also use apache's doc4j open source project for development. Some libraries are in .so format so you have to build it using NDK(JNI).

A demo example for reading .Doc file using apache.poi reading data from the .Doc file by using Apache POI api

You'll need one or more converters :)
