Answer 1

Your question is very broad.
There are a lot of tutorials on creating a character, its skeleton and animation on youtube.
Here is an example.
Here is a good Unity5 playlist , but the author uses Blender, not Maya.
I had problems with exporting animation from Maya to Unity and the command helped a lot (mb and you will need it)

FBXResetExport;
FBXExportSkins -v true;
FBXExport -f "C:/Users/user/Desktop/EXPORTING_TEST/test-walk-1.FBX" -s;

- first you need to "bake" the finished animation
- then select the character geometry and skeleton
- then write this command in the Script Editor (in maya)
