Solution 1

Yes a decompiler can actually have access to this dll (unless your network is very secure).

Using a tool like a .Net obfuscator can help you reduce this threat - however, it will not help you eliminate this threat.

Solution 2

Yes, a decompiler like Reflector can show the entire original source code along with the loops, conditions, etc

To prevent this, use an obfuscator like Crypto Obfuscator.
