A: No he cannot work while here on a tourist visa. That would be illegal and a violation of the terms of his visa. Without more information about his skill set, etc., I cannot tell you if he would be eligible for any other type of visa that would allow him to work. I would suggest that you make an appointment with an experienced immigration attorney.
