Answer 1

I haven't used it a lot but you could try developing in Unity3D. It lets you use c# and ports games to multiple platforms including mobile phones and desktop. Unity3D supports other languages such as JavaScript too. You can learn more about using c# to make games in Unity at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dn759441.aspx

You could also look at Xamarin for mobile development. Xamarin uses ASP.net to make more general purpose software(not just games) to various mobile operating systems such as Android and IOS. You can learn more about it at https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/xamarin/

I suggest you keep focused on c# until you get more confident with general programming in it. I'm very familiar with many languages but if you're just starting with one, trying to tackle another might be more of a distraction than it is worth. That is unless you're bored with c#.
