The answer for this qustion is 1. I think the test-maker meant 1 as an adverb usage of to infinitive, but it can also be interpreted as an adjective usage to describe "music", and the context is not clear. Sometimes "to inifinitive" can be interpreted as both adjective and adverb usages. Like "He made the policy to escape poverty", where "to escape poverty" can describe either "made" or "the policy". What do you think?

'to' can be replaced by "in order to" or "as a means to" in the example sentence and in 1. It can't in 2.

No, that's not what it means. It says nothing about special classical music that can build confidence.
