Answer 1

AWS EC2 instances don't really differ from any other machines. Just make sure to:

1. Use public IPs, not the private ones or make sure that the instances are in the same VPC
2. RMI ports which is used for communication between master and the slave(s) are open in Windows Firewall and AWS Security Groups

There is JMeter ec2 Script which automates configuration and setup
