Answer 1

It has been a while, but I think something in the Robot class will help you.

EDIT:

In the Robot API:

public BufferedImage createScreenCapture(Rectangle screenRect)

    Creates an image containing pixels read from the screen. This image does not include the mouse cursor.

    Parameters:
        screenRect - Rect to capture in screen coordinates 
    Returns:
        The captured image 

Answer 2

Take a look at the Robot class.
