Answer 1

not sure if this will help but how about u just create a form in tha page and allow user to type/see what they be sending.
Sample here

Also Preview button can help

EDIT:
Then u need to use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook namespace to create a mail item.
First sample here
From the sample, the MailItem class(oMsg) also has a Display() Method which should display the created email.
Second sample (ASP.NET version)
