Answer 1

In console application, you can register a callback (SetConsoleCtrlHandler, CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT).

In message-loop application, you can catch certain messages (WM_QUERYENDSESSION, WM_ENDSESSION).

See Logging Off (Windows) on MSDN.

Answer 2

WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION are most likely what you're after.

Answer 3

I believe the "correct" way is to listen to a WMI event.
