Answer 1

That really depends on what you want your application to do.

E.g. Whether existing opensource applications / libraries meet the requirements for your application.

As you haven't specified what time or performance constrains or other requirements for your application are it is difficult to make a recommendation due to lack of information.

If you do decide to use existing Open Source libraries or software, I suggest you have a look at the following projects, even if it is just to give yourself a better idea of your application's requirements.

• openmeetings
• bigbluebutton
• webhuddle
• Ekiga
• vmukti

Answer 2

Have a look at WebRTC. Maybe it makes sense to use that for a graduate assignement.
