Answer 1

As far as I know, Get-Service doesn't accept a credential parameter. However, you can do it through WMI:

$cred = get-Credential -credential 
Get-WMIObject Win32_Service -computer $computer -credential $cred

Update after comment:

You can save credentials as a securestring into a file, and then reload it for manually creating a credential without having a prompt. See information here.
