Answer 1

It is explicitly forbidden by the SDK docs, but some appcompat hacks for Windows 3.x apps can make it possible. Ab/used by several 32-bit programs as well, Acrobat Reader for one.

P/Invoke SetParent(), you'll need the window handle of the app's main window. Process.MainWindowHandle() with some luck. MoveWindow to put it in the right place. Use pinvoke.net for the declarations you'll need. The fact that this app displays video doesn't improve the odds that this will work out.
