>1) how can i make a mirror that reflects a lensflare ?

Lens flares, like particles and 2D polygons, have no physical 3D geometry.
Therefore they cannot be seen by the ray-tracer, ie. no traced reflection,
refraction, or shadows. If you want it to show up with tracing, you will
have to make it a physical entity. You can do this by creating a single
additive, luminous polygon with an image mapped flare on a black background
on its surface.
