Answer 1

Call sendChatAction with the required action field
https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendchataction

action: Type of action to broadcast. Choose one, depending on what the user is about to receive: typing for text messages, upload_photo for photos, record_video or upload_video for videos, record_voice or upload_voice for voice notes, upload_document for general files, find_location for location data, record_video_note or upload_video_note for video notes.
