Finding keyword phrases are pretty simple. Using the free adwords keyword research tool or any other keyword tool can really help you find lots of information related to keywords that you would want to use.
Additionally you can use the results of adwords campaigns to validate they types of information you want to create content for.
There are plenty of ways to research and find valuable keywords to write content based on.
Why research the keywords first? Well that is pretty simple really. You want to write what the audience is looking for. Never write content without first being sure people want to read about it.
Another way to find the target keywords is to take information from questions you get and think about what words people would use to find the answer to the questions being asked.
Regarding Question 2:
Creating content that leads back to your offer is really all that matters. Here are some examples of two pieces of content I created related to MLM Systems.

I also created a video for youtube that outlines how MLM Systems work.
Why use MLML Systems as an example? Because network marketers need personal branding more than anyone. It is the only way to stand out in a crowd of people selling a product. You sell your self and the product will follow.
Regarding Question 3:
Your offer should be something that will help them implement what ever it is they are searching for.
