Right click your .net project and select the option “Add user control from AOT” . This will allow you to add your AX forms and several other elements.

The answer depends on your exact requirements and also on the version of AX.
In general, you should avoid direct SQL queries and especially updates to AX database. Business Connector is one possible way, if the web server runs in your network. If it’s hosted somewhere else, use web services. AX2012 offers several types of services and all of them may be useful for you: system services (especially Query Service), document services (“classic” AIF) and custom services.
You can’t “transfer” any code from AX to .NET - you can call code in tables and classes via Business Connector and expose class methods as entry points of custom services. If you want to call code implement in a form, refactor it to a class or table method.
If you use AX2012, you’ll find lots of information in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Services and AIF White Papers.
