Answer #1:
While I won't claim it's the "best" (too subjective and too many variables), my favorite general-purpose carpet spotter is Perky made by Groom Industries. They have also come out with a new product called Perky Plus. It seems to be somewhat more effective, but is sudsier.

Answer #2:
If it is a building where I am responsible for the continual appearance of the carpet, I prefer to mix up an encapsulation cleaner. It doesn't remove tar and coffee as well as a strong carpet spotter, but it leaves zero harmful residue. In fact, that treated spot will resist re-soiling. Most of the encapsulation cleaners dilute 1:10, affording a cost savings over the full-strength spotter.
Then, if the spot is difficult, I carry a mild solvent for white-out, grease, gum, etc. and a mild carpet acidic rinse (normally diluted 1:5) for coffee, tea and water spots. So with three spray bottles, I end up with an all purpose spotting kit.
It is more to keep up with than just one product, but offers a more comprehensive coverage. So the choice is yours.
