Answer 1

To send email from SharePoint, you can use SPUtility.SendEmail or configure 'Send Email' workflow using SharePoint designer. You need to ensure that the outgoing e-mail settings are configured in Central Administration.

If you have a custom webpart or form, you can also use SmtpClient from ASP.NET to send emails. Here is an example : http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/072606-1.aspx

Answer 2

Assuming that the form you have is a list form, you can create an event receiver on item adding event, and write the sputility code to send email to the person present in the field inside that event. So when the users is adding and item and he saves an email will get generated.
