Answer 1

The settings can be found at www.example.com/admin/settings/slideshow.

If you want custom slideshows, easiets is probably

1. CCK + filefield + imagefield to be able to upload images
2. Imagecache to cache and style the images (max width and height)
3. Taxonomy to be able to indicate which gallery the image belongs to
4. Views to create the gallery.
5. [Insert random jQuery pludin here] for the slideshow effect. You could use something like thickbox, but there are so many, that you can just take your pick.

Answer 2

Just use CCK + Views + the jQuery Cycle plugin. No custom "slideshow" module needed.
