Answer 1

You can refer to the following books on asanas, pranayama and neti:

• Asanas, Pranayama, Mudras and Bandha (Bihar School of Yoga)*. This is one of best manual on Yoga. It is available in English as well as Hindi.
• Hath Yoga Yatra 1:Understanding Shatkarma. Neti - Jala Neti and Sutra Neti comes under Shatkarmas - six cleansing yogic techniques that are meant for purifications of the body organs to remain healthy. So, this book is based on these six cleansing techniques and their efficiency including that of Neti. To know more on secrets behind health - purification, detoxification and diet, you may also read the following book on mix of these aspects - 
• Diet, Shatkarmas and Amaroli - Yogic Nutrition & Cleansing for Health and Spirit (AYP Enlightenment Series Book 6)

You can purchase neti pots either ceramic or copper made from Amazon. I have searched and mentioned below both of them. You may get suitable to your needs:

• KannsSky(TM) High Quality Ceramic Jal Neti Pot with two set sutra neti for Sinus Congestion (Blue)
• Prisha India Craft Copper Neti Pot for Sinus Irrigation Capacity

Earlier I used to do jala neti with copper neti pot. Now, it has been 18 years that I have been using the ceramic neti pot manufactured by Himalayan Institute. It is very good in shape and very comfortable.  But you have to be careful it being ceramic can break if not carefully handled.
