Answer 1

I think a library would be your best option - this is something that you need to research.

Answer 2

There were two, one in 1765 and another in 1774.
The Quartering Acts were passed by Parliament to allow British troops to stay in the homes of colonists. It's one of the reasons the third amendment was passed.

I have looked, and can't find a specific book that deals just with the Quartering Act. It's a fairly small part of the overall Revolution -- it was part of the Intolerable Acts.

I did find a journal article:
Gerlach, Don R. A Note on the Quartering Act of 1774.
New England Quarterly 1966 39(1): 80-88

If you look for "causes of the American revolution" in an library database, you'll find plenty of books. Almost all will cover the Quartering Acts in varying degrees.
