1. You do not require to have your office.
2. There is no need to open seperate account with business name if the transaction are allowed by bank in saving account only.
3.You will have to charge Service Tax to all the client in India to whom Service is provided in case your Service Value in total exceeds Rs. 10,00,000p.a. and required yourself to get registered and obatin Service Tax number if your Service Income Exceeds Rs. 9,00,000 p.a.
4.To get your amount from Client outside India in foreign currency you have to submit detail to the RBI only in case when your realisation are not within prescribed period ( i.e. 365 days for now ) from completion of rendering Services.
5.Refer RBI Master circular on Export of Goods & Services available on RBI Website.
6. in case you have provided Service to outside country you are Service Provider and hence you will have to charge Service Tax on the same and you will be only responsible for payment of service tax.
7.Any if possible than maintain seperate accounts for both Service Render outside India and within India
