Answer 1

Metro applications cannot access Sql Server DB's directly. You can create a service layer (WCF, WCF Data or Web services) which can be used to communicate with the database.

Answer 2

this applies to all Metro apps - Windows 8 RT and Windows 8 Home & Pro or just Windows RT?

Answer 3

All versions.
