Goto Halfords and get an adaptor - dead easy.

It's best to evaluate the maximum torque readings you'll be needing the wrench for and select accordingly using no adapters. 1/4"torque wrenches usually measure inch pounds. If you toss on a 3/8 adapter you'll be using it out of range.

Yes but you need to do the proper math to count for the slight length difference (a drive adapter extends the length slightly creating an innacurate measurment) here is the equation
C=D(A/A+B)
The letters in the formula have the following meaning.
A = length of torque wrench
B = length of adapter
C = torque wrench setting
D = desired torque at end of extension

in the experience that your husband isn't an entire time mechanic, I propose you purchase him a not very high priced a million/2 inch torque wrench and an angular gauge to circulate with the wrench as maximum automobiles desires the two.

Yes you can. It's the length's of your extensions between the wrench and socket that alter the torque.

Get an adapter, but for this small of a driver I would be very careful as it will not take much torque,
