FSCM is the Field Service Control Manager, that is a instance 
of the class TServiceControlManager.

>2.)  Is there a way to instantiate it with the new keyword?

Of course. Possible scenarios are:

A) using contructor/destructor of your class

  class TfrmMain : public TForm
  {
  __published: // IDE-managed Components
      ....
  private: // User declarations
      TServiceControlManager* const FSCM;
  public: // User declarations
      __fastcall TfrmMain(TComponent* Owner);
      __fastcall ~TfrmMain() throw();
      ....
  };

  __fastcall TfrmMain::TfrmMain(TComponent* Owner)
    : TForm(Owner), FSCM( new TServiceControlManager( 0, "MyServiceName" ) )
  {
      ....
      ....
  }

  __fastcall TfrmMain::~TfrmMain() throw()
  {
      delete FSCM;
  }

B) Using a smart pointer:

  #include <memory>

  class TfrmMain : public TForm
  {
  __published: // IDE-managed Components
      ....
  private: // User declarations
      const std::auto_ptr<TServiceControlManager> FSCM;
  public: // User declarations
      __fastcall TfrmMain(TComponent* Owner);
      ....
  };

  __fastcall TfrmMain::TfrmMain(TComponent* Owner)
    : TForm(Owner), FSCM( new TServiceControlManager( 0, "MyServiceName" ) )
  {
      ....
      ....
  }

>3.)  Will this code allow me to stop and start an existing service?

Yes. Just provide the correct service name. You can also avoid to stop
dependent services: call the stop function with the last parameter set to
false.

    FSCM.stop( "w3svc", false );  // Stop IIS

Simply you have to seek for the correct service name (browse the technet or
msdn site of M$ corp, or use the mmc services applet or type NET START from a
command line). Provide that name when you create the ServiceControlManager
instance.
