A:
You will not find your package in the "Software Center". The Ubuntu Wiki has more on how the "Ubuntu Software Center" collects information about packages.
If your package enters Ubuntu's universe or Debian's main stable, you will probably find it in the relevant section. (EDIT: ... becase app-install-data will be regenerated then. I don't know how Software Center works with PPA's though, if you plan to make one)
Also, you should be able to find your software through Synaptic and through apt-get (i.e. be able to uninstall it). If you host it in a PPA, then you will be able to install it too. Again, I don't know about how Software Center deals packages from outside the Ubuntu repositories (main, universe, etc).
