You can include all required files for both platforms as described here: http://erikej.blogspot.com/2011/02/using-sql-server-compact-40-with.html

Another choice, which trades a bit of space for a whole lot of simplicity is to deploy both the x86/* and AMD64/* native dlls alongside your managed System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll and let the runtime decide. It adds a few Mb, but streamlines you to a single build and single installer.

No.

You would need to compile your app for x86 targets and include the x86 version of SQL Compact.

It's probably easier to just provide two different installers than a single one with both versions of your app and SQL Compact.
