Short answer: Comparables. You need to see what other companies like yours have sold for. Like selling a house.
For something like micro SAAS, there might not be a whole lot of public data. These are probably small, private transactions that wouldn't be tracked by Crunchbase or others.
I'd suggest talking to some business brokers who specialize in this area and get their thoughts on the range of multiples they are seeing in the niche, and what factors go into a business being on the bottom and top of that range.
Then evaluate your own business using that criteria.
For all the other questions... you guys need to get a lawyer that you both trust to mediate. Someone who deals with startups.
