Chamber Composer, by Emperor Joseph the 2nd. The appointment was during the month of December.
Beethoven was believed to have met with Mozart in 1787, in Vienna.
Not in the sense that Mozart *employed* him, but Beethoven did visit Vienna in 1787, when he was 16 years old, and probably played for Mozart there. Evidence is anecdotal that they actually met, but it would be surprising if they didn't -- it was part of the purpose of the visit, after all.
Beethoven met Mozart in 1787.
Leopold Mozart died on May 28, 1787 at the age of 67.

Yes, Beethoven was alive during Mozart's lifetime. Beethoven was 20 when Mozart died. Beethoven had visited Mozart in Vienna and played him some of his compositions. Mozart recognised that he had talent and decided that he would like to teach Beethoven. Before their lessons could begin, Beethoven's mother fell ill and he had to return to Bonn to tend to her. Before he could return to Vienna to have his lessons, Mozart had died. Further information In 1787 (at the age of sixteen), Beethoven visited Vienna where he met Mozart for the first time. Here, Mozart actually gave Beethoven his first lesson in composition before Beethoven was called back to Bonn with the news of his dying mother. Beethoven's admiration of Mozart, and this first lesson in composition, is why music from the "first period" of Beethoven's composing reflects Mozart's style.
Mozart wrote it in 1787
I think what you are referring to is in 1787, Beethoven travelled to Vienna to study with Vienna. After listening to him, Mozart said: "Watch out for that boy. One day he will give the world something to talk about."
Beethoven and Haydn certainly did, Haydn taught Beethoven. Between Beethoven and Mozart the picture is less certain, they may have met in Vienna in 1787, and some people think that Beethoven may even have had a few lessons from Mozart. However the records are not clear or contemporaneous. Mozart and Hayden were great friends.
Mozart wrote the piece in 1787, which would have made him 31.
People say that most of Mozart's serenades were written on commission, suggests that this serenade, too, was a commission, whose origin and first performance were not committed to record. Hope that helps u
