2)How and where do I take the Shinkasen to Tokyo

how do I get to Tokyo from Kansai Airport?

There are many different options. One is to fly there. JAL, ANA and Starflyer fly into Haneda Airport. Jetstar into Narita Airport.

Alternatively, take a train or bus into Osaka and a train or bus from there to Tokyo.

I intend to take the Shinkasen to Tokyo.

In that case, take the Haruka limited express and Tokaido Shinkansen via Shin-Osaka Station. You can buy the ticket for the entire trip at Kansai Airport:

What is the best and affordable option on purchasing of tickets?

There are no considerable discounts for shinkansen travel. For more affordable options, you should consider flying or taking the overnight bus.
