yes
Since Madison wrote many of the Federalist Papers, I would venture to assume he "authorized" them. Thomas Jefferson was also very much in favor of the ratification of the Constitution, which was the primary purpose of the Federalist Papers, and so I would say he was in favor of publication, too. Although Jefferson did disagree with some of the individual papers, most notably #84 which argued against the Bill of Rights.
Yes No. Only when he was writing the Federalist Papers. After that he was an anti-Federalist supporter of Jefferson.

No, the authors of the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay favored the Constitution, which provided for a strong central government.
