Answer 1

Well, I think it might be a little work, but you could contact the British Library: they have a public records for the India Office.

You might be able to look up the type of medal given to this fellow at:
http://faculty.winthrop.edu/haynese/india/medals/EICMed.html

Although this site regularly has problems, and you would have to be more specific about dates, I think.

You could also contact the East India Company, although they don't operate in the same way, they still do exist:

Their contact is at [e-mail]
they might be able to tell you exactly where to look for the records.

Good luck!
