Answer 1

You will do it in the same way you installed it in the root directory. I will tell you how I installed it on my shared hosting account, both main and sub domains. After I uploaded all my project to the subfolder, and your will be example.com/ru, do the following:
In your public folder there is your .htaccess file. since you are basically making this a subdomain, it will need to be in the root of that subdomain, so transfer the .htaccess from public folder to the root of ru folder.
Open the .htaccess and change/add the following:
DirectoryIndex public/index.php
and in the RewriteRule change it to this:
public/index.php
And just to be clear, your .htaccess should be like this at the end after your changes:
DirectoryIndex public/index.php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ public/index.php [L]
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>

Create a .htaccess file in a root folder and paste the code and save it.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ ^$1 [N]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (\.\w+$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ server.php
