Without internet out there your options are to going to be to use voice.

If you are willing to use a new number and your phone is unlocked then a local sim like EMTEL will cost around 25p per minute to call the UK. These are widely available in airports, supermarkets, kiosks, etc

You're probably best off finding a wifi hotspot in Mauritius then using something like Skype to dial the UK.

So you'll need to install Skype on your phone, then add a few quid credit, then dial the UK landline from Skype. Rates are 1.8p per min plus a connection charge of 3.1p.

Yes. Simply load up some Skype Credit and use the App to call your parents.
