Answer 1

According to MSDN the asmx web services for SharePoint are deprecated with 2013 (although still supported in this version). It is advised to use REST or CSOM.
But, they are not removed from 2013, and they are still there in 2016.

This Post explains the process for Sharepoint 2010, but it is still valid for 2013; it can be adapted for 2016 as well.
