Answer 2

1st check what interfaces are available to your phone:
The most common phone interfaces are:

USB
Infrared
Bluetooth

then check your PC. Almost all have USB and most laptops have IR. For USB, you will need a special cable from cingular. You can also buy very cheap usb-based Blutooth wireless adaptors.

You can't. That model is not compatible with computer ringtones.
