    Question 1 & 2 and 3: Well, the best tutorial/example would be the already existing Exchange sync adapter provided by Google I guess. This is also an open-source (Apache license) project.

    This one is for ICS, where you should start by checking out the following sections:

    From the AndroidManifest.xml we can see that com.android.exchange.EmailSyncAdapterService, com.android.exchange.ContactsSyncAdapterService and com.android.exchange.CalendarSyncAdapterService all implement the SyncAdapter API, thus providing you with a starting point for your search.

    If you need code from Gingerbread (or earlier) you should check the GIT for the Email app which used to house the Exchange sync adapter previously.
