Answer 1

You need to write a server-side-service that will allow you to manipulate your data from your Android device.

There is no easy way of connecting Android DIRECTLY to a remote database.

For your SERVER-SIDE-SERVICE I would recommend you use any WEB/HTTP server side service written in your favorite language: Java, Python, ASP.NET (C#/VB.NET), PHP, you name it.
