When Duryodhan and Arjuna went to Lord Krishna to request him to join their respective army, Krishna gave Narayani army to Duryodhana and himself to Arjuna.

1. Why did Krishna accepted Duryodhana's proposal after knowing he is the symbol of Adharma?

Krishna didn't even accepted Duryodhan's invitation to eat with him, because of this.

2. What about the opinions of warriors in Narayani sena? Were they given a choice to choose between Dharma and Adharma?

3. How come Keshav send his warriors into the battlefield to fight the army, that chose Dharma?

As I read, Krishna knew that war between Kurav and Pandava will result in killing most of the warriors of the land. Yadav (Narayani Army) stay neutral, they will be very powerful without any resistance/competition they will exploit the situation. So he wanted all Narayani sena also to be killed and a new Yuga to start.

Arjuna Perspective
To know why he helped Duryodhana by the narayani sena. We must consider their proposal(of arjun and duryodhan) .both were eager for help in the war and persistant to expand their troops: but duryodhana attracted by the troops as an option acquired the same in his favour. But on the other hand arjun was wise he knew that krishna was yogi and master of his senses. He was skilled in warfare as well as strategical warfare( which was synonymous to then society).

Please read all the points in description.
In point1, I have mentioned that Krishna could have refused Duryodhan to help.
He might be just help Arjun without the Narayani sena, because Arjun is his friend. But why strengthen the enemy by giving them the Narayani sena?

When shree krishna was sleeping. Duryodhan was sent by shakuni to get help from shree krishna. At the same time arjun also came to get help from shree krishna. As arjun gave salutation to shree krishna. Krishna got wake up and saw arjun first. So he tells arjun to pick from himself and his narayani sena. Arjun was in need of a good charioteer. And that time no body was as good as shree krishna. So he pick shree krishna. While duryodhan was already made clear that he was in despirat need of narayani sena . so he did not opposed anyone. And became happy after getting narayani sena. So in that way shree krishna never supported adharma.

In the 1st point, I have mentioned that just like Krishna refused to have food with Duryodhana, because he represents Adharma, similarly Krishna could have just refused him to help to save Dharma.
