Answer 1

I think you may get it that way:

 public function sendEmail($email)
    {    
        return Yii::$app->mailer->compose()
            ->setTo($email)
            ->setFrom([$this->email => $this->name])         
            ->setSubject($this->subject)
            ->setTextBody($this->body . ' Email from: ' . $this->email)
            ->send();
    }

To use Mailer, you should configure it in the application configuration like the following:

[
'components' => [
    'mailer' => [
        'class' => 'yii\swiftmailer\Mailer',
        'transport' => [
            'class' => 'Swift_SmtpTransport',
            'host' => 'localhost',
            'username' => 'username',
            'password' => 'password',
            'port' => '587',
            'encryption' => 'tls',
        ],
    ],
    // ...
],
],
