Answer 1

Laminitis, commonly known as founder.

Generally, you want to reduce the horse's grain intake substantially until he's better.  If he's on grass, put him on hay.  Too much feed is the major cause of laminitis.

Hose his feet and lower legs with warm water.  Let him stand still; put a good layer of bedding down for him to support the feet.

Bute (phenylbutazoladin)  to reduce the inflammation and ease the pain.

There are many other causes of laminitis, but you'd have to have a vet to diagnose and treat.  Corrective shoeing can be a great help (eggbar shoes, wedges to lift the heel)s but you need a knowledgable farrier for that.
