Answer 2

Take a look at this KnowledgeBase article for details on how to launch the BlackBerry Maps application from your own, passing it various types of data (including GPS coordinates for mapping directions).

To get the lat/long for an address there is no RIM API available, however you could use a webservice such as the one provided by Google: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html
