Answer 1

You can bind Media Element directly from the view model

in xaml:

in ViewModel:

private MediaElement _mediaElementObject;

public MediaElement MediaElementObject
{
   get { return _mediaElementObject; }
   set { _mediaElementObject = value;RaisePropertyChanged(); }
}

And on OnNavigatedTo Override method you can create it's new object & can register it's events.

MediaElementObject=new MediaElement();

So that you can do all thing from the viewmodel itself.
