Answer 1

You should handle the dataGridView1_KeyDown event.

I didn't really tested the code, but I think it's something like this.

private void dataGridView1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyData == Keys.Enter)
    {
        int col = dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex;
        int row = dataGridView1.CurrentCell.RowIndex;

        dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1[col, row];
        e.SuppressKeyPress = true;
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}
