A1. VS 2010 is required for the development, according to http://www.asp.net/whitepapers/mvc3-release-notes#software-requirements[^].
During run time and even for builds you don't need Visual Studio at all, only the (redistributable) .NET Framework 4.0 or later.

[EDIT]

Alternatively, you can use the open-source IDE called SharpDeveleop. According to its documentation, you can develop with MVC 3 using the version 4.2 or later. Please see:

[END EDIT]

A2. You might be aware of the business of that company, not the people reading your questions. It may depends on a number of the factors unknown to us.

Solution 2

a1) I can confirm, that latest SharpDevelop is supporting MVC3 development. But you can also use Visual Web Developer 2010 Express[^], if fits your needs.
a2) I don't know what the "imprest account" is, but I consider MVC3 platform to be even better for use in a real-word business environment than asp.net web forms. Form many reasons.
