Is a SARL the right choice for my business idea in France?

My business activities in France - expected turnover 60,000 euros per year and growing:

• Consulting of companies in IT (information technology) related issues (direct contract with individual companies in European Union (EU) and Switzerland).
• Contract workers from Asia to work remotely for EU companies (above companies included). These contract workers are employed and located in Asia. I will be paid a commission by the Asian company, based on the number of contracted weeks that are sold. These workers are typically software developers and accountants.

1. Can these two business activities be considered as the same business activity?
2. Regarding expenses… I am not sure which expenses are acceptable and some - such as travel to Asia to interview potential staff on regular basis will be substantial. Also expenses to transportation in France, office rental etc?
3. I have an interested partner (I am a EU citizen, and so is the partner) to create a SARL (société à responsabilité limitée) - but this partner is not located in France. Is that acceptable and will it have any implications?
4. Is a SARL the best solution… EURL (entreprise unipersonnelle à responsabilité limitée) is the same but without partner?
5. What is the best way to identify a suitable accountant - yellow pages?
6. Can you link to the cost of setting up a SARL - or if you suggest differently - another set-up.
