Answer 2

Try Visual Studio extension VSCommands for Visual Studio 2012. It has feature called Locate in TFS. This will add new button to Solution Explorer Locate in TFS which opens active selected file/folder in TFS Source Control Explorer.

Answer 3

There is a stand-alone extension that you can download, called Locate in TFS, within Visual Studio.

"Locate in TFS" on TFS Gallery

"Locate in TFS" on GitHub

This also works on files that you "Exclude from source control", as many developers do with the web.config files.

psulek's post, above, mentions this as part of VSCommands, but I prefer the stand-alone extension.
