Do vedas declare that Adultery and masturbation are sin ?
Should we control adultery from fear of hell
or becase of averse feeling ?
or from chanting ?
What are different methods a man must train his mind to protect himself from sinning ?

General answer is yes. Related info: articles grhastha.htm and Brahmacarya.htm at my website (the system prevents me to post urls)
To gather references in dharma sastras would take time. Full version of Kama sutra should have something too. Search for words like: para-dara-abhigamana, vyabhicara, maithuna, retah etc.
Second question is unclear. Preaching by example about proper relationships should be the prominent way.

Vaisnava method is param drstva nivartante - BG 2.59.
