Answer 1

To get a URL for a published video, you would need to create something called a Locator in Media Services terminology. You would need to create a locator for the asset containing the published video. To create a locator, first you would need to create an Access Policy with Read permission (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh974297.aspx#create_an_accesspolicy). Once that access policy is created, you would create a locator (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh974308.aspx#create_a_locator).

I wrote some blog posts on consuming Media Services REST API which you may find useful: http://gauravmantri.com/category/azure-media-service/. I wrote them long time back so some of the information may be outdated. Please reference REST API documentation for most up to date information.
