Answer 1

RMAN does that for you :
RMAN>CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
Then set the date to what you need and run as often as you need.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18283_01/server.112/e17022/rman.htm#BAJHHAEB
#!/bin/bash
# Name: db_rman_arch_standby.sh
# Purpose: Delete archive from standby
# Usage : db_rman_arch_standby <DBNAME>
if [ "$1" ]
then DBNAME=$1
else
echo "basename $0 : Syntax error : use . db_rman_full <DBNAME> "
exit 1
fi
. /u01/app/oracle/dba_tool/env/${DBNAME}.env
echo ${DBNAME}
MAILHEADER="Archive_cleanup_on_STANDBY_${DBNAME}"
echo "Starting RMAN..."
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / catalog rmancat/rmancat@rcatalog << EOF
delete noprompt ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-1';
exit
EOF
echo `date`
echo
echo 'End of archive cleanup on STANDBY'
mailx -s ${MAILHEADER} $MAILTO < /tmp/rmandbarchstandby.out
. /u01/app/oracle/dba_tool/bin/rmemptyfolders.sh ${DBNAME}
