Answer 1

You can implement a windows runtime component and write your own DuplicateOutput method by some supported win32 APIs in UWP. Then, you could add reference to this component in C# UWP project.

Answer 2

If you're developing a general UWP app, then, this API is not available in UWP. You could check the Win32 and COM APIs for UWP apps for more details.

If you're not going to publish your app to windows store,that is, you might want to side-load your app. Then, you could choose the Brokered Windows Runtime Components for a side-loaded Windows Store app. If you use the brokered windows runtime components, you would be able to use this API.
