Simple, fast.
For customers from Germany, I billed them this way - everything suited them. They also needed it exclusively for accounting.

Answer 2

The customer needs an invoice for his accounting.
Look for any arbitrary pattern on the net.
Well, at least like this: www.nsc-cargo.ru/images/Docs/invoice.jpg
Mandatory fields:
1. Full name of the individual or the name of the company of the contractor
2. Address
3. Tax number
4. Contacts
5. Date and place of the invoice
7. Payment details
8. Recipient.
For a private person, it is advisable to attach a copy of the passport, for a company, a copy of an extract from the registration register.
Further, everything is as in the usual account.

Answer 3

Since this year, the upfront payment seems to have been canceled, earlier it was possible to indicate how many percent of the advance payment when writing an application. If the client has a verified payment method, then the payment will be guaranteed anyway, even if it is a fix price. So tell the client to create a milestone. Choose the amount yourself, it can be, for example, payment for the first stage. After you confirm, you will see that next to the amount it says (funded), which means that the payment is guaranteed (and the money has already been withdrawn from the card by customers, but they are still on Upwork). But you will receive payment after you submit part of the work. Therefore, break the work into several stages. Most importantly, the payment method must be confirmed.
