1. Unfortunately, no. SQL CE only supports connections using ADO.NET or OLEDB. The Microsoft Driver for Node.js for SQL Server relies on the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server which cannot connect to SQL CE.
   2 & 3. .sdf is simply the file format of a SQL CE database. It should not require .NET. However, if you choose to use ADO.NET, that does require .NET. If you choose OLEDB, that is generally used with C++ applications.
