Any book on common practice harmony will help with most pop/rock and classical up to 20th century. I used Harmony by Piston and happily recommend it. For some jazz theory The Jazz Piano Book by Levine was good for me.

2) Don't play classical music. Learn music theory (The Jazz Piano Book by Mark Levine) and play by ear, initially transposing everything to the same key (e.g. Fmaj).
