Answer 1

Yes you can but you will need to apply for the spouse visa. Get in touch with the British embassy they should help you with everything.

Answer 2

This page explains which documents a person who is subject to immigration control (and who is not a European Economic Area (EEA) national or a Swiss national) needs in order to be able to come to the United Kingdom for marriage.

Applying from overseas

If you are currently outside the United Kingdom and are coming to the United Kingdom to get married or enter a civil partnership, the documents you require will depend on how long you intend to stay in the United Kingdom.

If you are coming to the United Kingdom as a visitor for marriage or civil partnership you must get entry clearance (permission to enter) for a visit for marriage or a visit for civil partnership.

If you are planning to travel to the United Kingdom to get married or register a civil partnership with someone already settled here and you plan to stay in the country afterwards, you will need entry clearance (permission to enter) as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner.

If you are applying for entry clearance as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partnership, both people involved must be over 18 years of age.

Before travelling you should apply for your entry clearance (permission to enter) at a British diplomatic post (which issues the type of entry clearance you need) in the country where you normally live.

You will need to show evidence that you plan to enter into a marriage or civil partnership during the period for which you have been granted permission to stay (this will normally be six months).

Fees

The current fees for entry clearance are:

fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner visa - £500; and

marriage or civil partnership visitor visa - £63.

.

Applying in the United Kingdom

If you are already in the United Kingdom and do not have settled status (permission to live here permanently) you will need to apply to the Home Office for a certificate of approval before giving notice to a registrar to marry or register your civil partnership.

The certificate of approval requirement does not currently apply to marriages in the Anglican church in England and Wales.

Yes Once married and you apply for proper visas you may live anywhere in the United Kingdom

Best of luck!!!
