Answer 1

Your first port of call should definitely be the official Revit Developer Centre:

http://www.autodesk.com/developrevit

Work through the DevTV and My First Revit Plugin tutorials. That will provide all you need.

The Building Coder provides a comprehensive overview of the Revit API getting started material for self-learning:

Answer 2

Revit does have PDF, but DWF is best for engineering files.

You can check the ImportExport sample, first download the SDK then check the C:\Revit 2016 SDK\Samples\ImportExport\CS folder. Ideally the DWF export will work best.

There are also some alternatives, like A360 Viewer.
