Answer 1

If you write for android in a normal way, this is easy to do using DownloadManager 'a.
You can also stupidly open a browser with a link.

final String url = "http://your.link";
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(intent);

Answer 2

In theory, there is the same TIdHTTP that you can use in the Windows application.
