Regarding #2, on camera flash can work OK if you bounce it, and not aim it directly at the subject. If bouncing off a nearby wall or ceiling does not work, there are bounce cards that you can attach to a flash to do this.
This naturally requires that you have a separate dedicated flash installed in your camera's hotshoe. Built-in camera flashes generally have no ability to be bounced.
In addition, be mindful that a camera's exposure meter assumes that the entire world is colored gray. If, for example, you shoot a photo with a white background, the meter is going to underexpose your subject. Conversely, if the background is black, the subject will be overexposed. You will thus need to compensate and adjust the exposure that you use with your camera, and not simply use the exposure that your camera automatically recommends.
