Based on the report of your semen analysis that you have uploaded I would say that you have Oligozoospermia meaning there by that your sperm count and percentage of active grade one motile sperm is lower than WHO standards for fertilization of female egg to result into pregnancy.
As regards your queries I would answer them as detailed below .

2) Sperm count can be increased with regular exercise and proper high [protein diet
with Vitamins A.B.C.E and Zinc but Varicocele can not be corrected by these measures ,

It helps to increase sperm count in 30% patients.
Following general measures do help to increase sperm count and sperm motility.
