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

Reposition the lamp to the place it would have to appear to be when seen in
the mirror (mirror its position in the plane of the mirror, do I make myself
clear enough, or is this gibberish?). Make the lensflare so that it
disappears behind objects. Change the mirror to a hole in the wall, make
every surface black, save under another name (like flareonly.lws).
Render the animation. You should have a lot of black frames with a lens flare.
Now render the original animation, with the lensflare animation as a
foreground sequence, with itself as an alpha channel. If I'm correct, alpha
fader mode should be off. But experiment if it looks bad.

This is what I come up with, anyone with a better suggestion?

Hope this helps,
