You can choose creating and deploying on-premises provider-hosted app for SharePoint. In this you can use can deploy a provider hosted app to redirect users to your site. For details check :

Another option would be you can convert you asp.net site package to Sharepoint deployment package. You can follow the step from here :

Answer 2

All is same as local IIS deployment.

Just need to modify web.config by adding some settings in appsettings section as follows:

1. add key="isDeploy" value="true"/>
2. add key="FTPServer" value="ipAddressOfServer"/>
3. add key="PortNumber" value="portnumber"/>
4. add key="FTPUserName" value="yourremotemachinename"/>
5. add key="FTPPassword" value="yourpasswordofremoteconnection"/>
