Answer 2

Use only old grandmother's service ....
And services - it all depends on what you write, what you write on, etc. Unless, of course, we are talking about real game development, as Oleg noted . The usual toolchain of a small office is:
- photoshop
- VisualStudio
- version control system (svn / git or whatever you like)
- task tracker (redmine, jira)
- everything that goes to the development engine
- small self-written tools
Here is a minimum list for you. If I understand you correctly.

Answer 3

There is also an interesting and convenient editor for pixel art - Pyxeledit . It is still in development, and paid, but not expensive, but it has a lot of conveniences when working with palettes, tiles, animations and color. I love working in it.
