> a) What is the standard C compiler that I should get for FreeDOS?

I would highly recommend OpenWatcom 1.4, but if you have limited space
or are looking for simplicity, Pacific C or a free version of Turbo C
is available (Pacific C produces the smallest code usually, btw, with
Turbo C and then Watcom C following).

Four words: Ralph Brown's Interrupt List
That is all the documentation you'll ever need (imho) for int 21 functions.
