>1. When I add a record to a SQL Server table, how can I get the PK value (the value in Identity colum) without updating the table?

You don't. Sql Server handles this stuff internaly.

The TRUNCATE TABLE command will reset Identity column. If for some reason you cannot use it, take a look at DBCC CHECKIDENT in BOL.
