Answer 1

You can use the following method to save an image from an url to a file in LocalFolder:

public async Task<string> DownloadFileAsync(Uri uri, string filename)
{
    using (var fileStream = await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.OpenStreamForWriteAsync(filename, CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting))
    {
        var webStream = await new HttpClient().GetStreamAsync(uri);
        await webStream.CopyToAsync(fileStream);
        webStream.Dispose();
    }
    return (await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.GetFileAsync(filename)).Path;
}
