You need My Client Center (MCC) account.
Seems that you have usual account, so you need to register new
account.

Yes, usual accounts are not supported by API - only MCC.

Yes. If he didn't have MCC account he will need to register it and
create request for developer token.

Yes, getting access to Adwords API is not so simple as Twitter or
Facebook API.
I think that this is special action - prevent using API by usual
users. I they will get access Google will get a high load of human and
computer resources.

All info that you need is placed on

Just to clarify:
Access to API can provided only for MCC account holders.
If you don't have MCC you can create new account and link your current
account to new one.

Probably you can use OAuth. Sometime ago I've found it's support in
client library sources, but:
1. Don't know how it works (if it does). :)
2. With this option you (not your client) will pay for API usage.

May be official guys will help you with this direction.
