If you connected you phone to your profile, use http://my.avast.com to control the phone.
If you have setup another phone or such on the stolen phone, you can send commands to it from that other phone.

Read the manual to see what your options are:

No, that is not possible since you can't tell the phone to install it without having access to your phone.

As has been explained in the manual, you can only use certain commands if you have gave the permission for it. If you haven't while you still had the phone, there is nothing you can do about it now.

Since the location command is working, go to the police.
Report the phone as stolen and tell them that there is the option to locate it.
After that it is up to them to take action.
