Answer

If Japanese people see the spelling of your name "Jian" they would probably pronounce is as （ジアン）じあん　the Kanji for じあん事案 meaning,　case or subject. じあん is like a law term. 
健 is a common Japanese name, pronounced as Ken.

Answer

This is fun to think your name in Kanji!  How about these? They all pronounce as Chien ちえん、チエン.
（1）智円　＝智(knowledge)  円( circle)
（2）千縁　＝千(one thousand) 縁(connection, relationship)
（3）知園　＝知(to know) 園(place, park, garden)

Answer

Then, the sound of your name is ちえん.
Young Japanese may find you a cool combination of kanji.
My recommendaion is using 
ちえ　chie means wisdom.  kanji is   知恵

Answer

It is very popular for foreigners to have their names in Kanji.
I found the site you just type your name and give you suggestions which kanji to use.
