Answer 1

First you need to understand themes in 2013.

Start here for the basics

Then here to grasp how to make a custom one

Then you need to understand where and how they are set from this, then you can alter it., something like this:

ThmxTheme oTheme = ThmxTheme.Open(siteCollection,"_catalogs/theme/themename.thmx");
oTheme.ApplyTo(oWeb, false);
oWeb.Update();

Answer 2

There are many ways of achieving this. It can be done by creating custom masterpages, custom CSS files etc. etc. etc.

It all depends on which part of the SharePoint 2013 you want to change.
