The pst file is stored in the profile path of the MSOUTLOK

Since the path of the pst can be varied by the user, as can its name, ie it
neednt be in the install default path, your app would first have to search
for the pst, then you would have to figure out if it/which was the current
pst.
There are alleged to be third party apps that can read a pst, so presumably
this is possible.
OL will not send any mail unless it is open, and polling.
Perhaps just use the default mail handlers to create the mail and send (to
OL)
