This sad story is all over the web. An elephant used for tourist rides has died of exhaustion at Angkor. As this is clearly not an issue of travel and tourism, but one of animal welfare and animal rights, I don't understand what the question is I have never ridden on an elephant in Thailand because I don't agree with their capture and use as tourist attractions and photo opportunities. I suggest that all animal-lovers stop supporting wildlife capture and display generally. There is a counter-argument which says that if the animals could not be used to make someone money, they would not be cared for at all. There is a small ring of truth in that. The tigers in Asia are largely wiped out in the wild, but can be found thriving in Tiger petting zoos. They cannot be rehabilitated into the wild as they have never hunted, and would find it hard to survive. Once in captivity they have to remain there. The tourist dollars keep them fed with meat (large amounts) which they require for good health. Without that income, they would end up being sold to those who would use the animal for its body parts. The animals don't have a problem, humanity does. Any concerns should be addressed to the wildlife authorities in government.

You can buy it at the official ticket center, which located on the way from downtown to Angkor, on Charles de Gaulle st. You have to take a Tuk Tuk there. It will be on your right side. If you want to start using it from the next morning, you have to buy it after 3 p.m. Those staffs will issue the valid ticket for the next morning automatically. In order to ensure about it, you might tell them to issue its validity from tomorrow.

See the other answers to your questions. The only thing I might add is that a visit to the Angkor National National Museum (in Siem Reap, $12, give it 2-4 hours) before, or even after, will help a lot and may obviate the need for a guide. Take a tuk-tuk unless you like to cycle and sweat.
