Answer 1

Commerce Context (static) is the gate way to Commerce Server and It has four subsystems - Catalog (& Inventory), Marketing, Profile and Order. OrderContext is the gateway to commerce server order subsystem and this object can be created from CommerceContext.

I would recommend you to go through runtime API to get more insight into commerce context.

Hope this helps.
