Does Boarding Schools provide academic scholarship or athletic scholarship?

In general, no. Less selective schools are more likely to have scholarships not based on need than the highly selective ones. Need-based FA is available at almost all schools, although some are more generous than others.

Are there active recruiting activities at the competitive boarding schools?

In general, yes. But it depends also on the school/sport.

If so, how/where should a prospective student get started?

Contact the coach. Almost every boarding school website has a link for athletic inquiries. e.g.
https://www.exeter.edu/athletics/prospective-athletes

At the admissions office or to reach the coaches?

Again, depends on school/sport, but generally one would contact the coach first.

Would they be well received as fair questions?

Yes, but with a caveat. If the coach is a FT employee, then s/he also teaches and is potentially also a houseparent. If s/he is a PT employee, then odds are that s/he has another job as well. So be respectful of his/her situation and do not inundate with meaningless questions.
