Answer 1

You can always use an <mx:HBox></mx:HBox> to do what you are trying..

<mx:HBox>
    <mx:TextInput />
    <mx:Label />
</mx:HBox>

Answer 2

<mx:Form>
        <mx:FormItem label="Name : ">
        <mx:TextInput />
    </mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>

Hey u can use this also, otherwise use Canvas and place item in that using left and right proprtites

like

<canvas>
    <Label left="0"/>
    <textinput right="0"/>
</canvas>

and Yes finally the <hbbox> is the ultimate solution, but putting various tags on a page is bit cuimbersome, so try using canvases as it's a light weight conatiner, and when devbeloping some form, so use <form> tag

I hope it will be of some help tc
