You normally get Office Mobile from your device manufacturer. If they don't supply it, you can buy a version from handango.
I am not aware of an API for Office Mobile, however since Office Mobile 6.1 is compatible with the new formats (docx,pptx,xlsx), it should be possible to decode them externally (the new formats are actually zip files containing Open XML documents). If you would be doing this on a PC, I would recommend using the Open XML SDK 2.0. Unfortunately, the SDK does not support the .Net compact framework. You could still download it for reference purposes.
