There are some nice icons here: Silk Icons

Answer 2

I think you need to give up the word "free" and look more at what are you going to need and use:

Many icons / resources can be "free" but only under certain situasions, like only if your application is open source, freeware, your a private person and so on. What you need to do is look at the different licenses like

public domain ( This means you free to use it for anything ) creative commens - Has many different once Open source - Here there is more license types then atoms in the univers (almost at least).

Basicly it boils down to finding out you can live with ( In terms of open source the app, or pay) and then finding licenses that fitt that need. Searching for Public domain is a "safe" bet, but your chocies are gonna be limted
