Answer 1

This is a common question here.  Each country is a little different, but generally, embassies (and other foreign missions) are staffed by government employees from the home country (direct hires),  and by people living legally in the host country with the proper work authorization (local hires).  The local hires provide support in such areas as custodial, administrative, linguistic, etc.  

If you wish to work for your own government, at an embassy/foreign mission, you would probably apply through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (the Department of State, in the US), or through another government agency that has representatives assigned overseas, which would require that you re-locate.  If you wanted to work for another country's embassy/foreign mission in your own country, you would apply directly with them.  The pay runs the full range based on the local economy and established government guidelines.
