Answer 1

In both 2D or UI layer, you can simply play video using MovieTexture.

For example, I assume you wanna play video on UI. So what you need to to is creating a RawImage on UI, then creating a MovieTexture with your movie as material. Finally, put the material in the RawImage.

Answer 2

First of all if you are using Windows, install Quicktime and later drag and drop the movie file to your project view in Unity, it will import the file like a movie texture.

If you want to display the video in a 3d or 2d game, you can do this through the UI with a RawImage component, just set the Movie Texture as the Texture of the RawImage component in the inspector.

To control the video, you can do it with this simple script, you must attach it to the GameObject with the Raw Image component.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class VideoHandler : MonoBehaviour {
    RawImage raw;
    MovieTexture m;

    void Start () {
        raw = GetComponent<RawImage>();
        m = (MovieTexture)raw.mainTexture;
    }

    void Update () {
        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
        {

            if (m.isPlaying)
            {
                m.Pause();
            }
            else
            {
                m.Play();
            }
        }
    }
}

and you are done!
