2. With classic ASP you cannot really protect much as it is, by nature, an interpreted (scripting) language, using either VBS or JS. There are some ways but I don't think they are worth the trouble. If you really want to protect your web source code, then don't use ASP but ASP .Net instead (which is compiled) or ISAPI and a compiled language, like VB Classic, Visual FoxPro, Visual C++, Delphi, etc.
