Answer 1

You can apply a timezone to an utcdatetime via DateTimeUtil::applyTimeZoneOffset
The company timezone can be retrieved by calling DateTimeUtil::getCompanyTimeZone

Afterwards calculate the difference by calling DateTimeUtil::getDifference, which returns the difference in seconds so you have to compare that with the seconds per year.
To avoid inserting a 'magic' number, use the constants in the macro library TimeConstants.
