Question 1 & 2 and 3: Well, the best tutorial/example would be the already existing Exchange sync adapter provided by Google I guess. This is also an open-source (Apache license) project.
This one is for ICS, where you should start by checking out the following sections:
From the AndroidManifest.xml we can see that com.android.exchange.EmailSyncAdapterService, com.android.exchange.ContactsSyncAdapterService and com.android.exchange.CalendarSyncAdapterService all implement the SyncAdapter API, thus providing you with a starting point for your search.
If you need code from Gingerbread (or earlier) you should check the GIT for the Email app which used to house the Exchange sync adapter previously.

I believe the best resource about exchange activesync is http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998357.aspx
Further AFAIK microsoft holds multiple patents and requires license to implement the client software, so i dont think there are any open source implementations.
For this exact reason even google provides a very limited support for exchange server on android
