Answer 1

You’ll have to write a listener in some language (PHP, Java, Etc.). As for a static ip address, you can also look at a dynamic ip redirection service like no-ip;

You can use a personal machine thats always online, or you can try to use a shared hosting plan that allows you to have a listening port open. A web service will likely be easier to work with than having some custom UDP/TCP connection.
