Hi:

Regarding item number 2, I can recommend ImageMagick. It's a great set of
tools and libraries that will take your EPS to just about anything.

We use it where I work to do server-side image conversions for our web
apps.

http://www.imagemagick.org/

It's available for Win32 and various types of Unix.
