Answer 1

No, multiple routes is a newer feature only available in the REST services. Note the SOAP services are old and slow and should not be used for new developments. Documentation on how to use the REST services in .NET can be found here: http://rbrundritt.wordpress.com/2012/01/06/bing-maps-rest-service-net-libraries/

Answer 4

That depends on what value you passed for the RouteOptions.Optimization property. The default is to minimise time.
