Part b.) There's a well-known corollary to Baire's Category Theorem that states:
$\dagger$ In a complete metric space, the intersection of any countable collection of dense $G_\delta$'s is again a dense $G_\delta$.
First notice that we can write $\mathbb{Q} = \bigcup_{n=1}^{\infty} \lbrace q_n \rbrace$, where $\lbrace q_n \rbrace_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is an enumeration of the rationals. Since each $\lbrace q_n \rbrace$ is closed, it's easy to see that $\mathbb{Q} \in F_\sigma$.
Next, observe that $\mathbb{Q} \in F_\sigma \Rightarrow \mathbb{Q}^c \in G_\delta$. Now it is clear from $\dagger$ that $\mathbb{Q}$ can not be $G_\delta$, since $\mathbb{Q} \cap \mathbb{Q}^c = \emptyset$, which is nowhere-dense. Thus, $\mathbb{Q}$ is $F_\sigma$ but not $G_\delta$, as desired.
Part c.) $$S = (\mathbb{Q} \cap (-\infty, 0]) \cup (\mathbb{Q}^c \cap (0, \infty))$$
