Answer 1

Adding a document library that appears on the Quick Launch area

Hard way - using the Add(String, String, String, String, Int32, String, String, SPFeatureDefinition, SPListTemplate.QuickLaunchOptions) method overload

web.Lists.Add("Old documents",
  "This library stores old documents.",
  "old-docs",
  "00BFEA71-E717-4E80-AA17-D0C71B360101",
  101,
  "101",
  SPListTemplate.QuickLaunchOptions.On);

• the featureId parameter (4th one) is a string that contains the ID of the feature that defines the list; you can find feature IDs of standard list definitions online (here, here or here) or in appropriate files in the 12 hive

Easy way - in 2 steps

Guid newListGuid = web.Lists.Add("Old documents",
  "This library stores old documents.",
  SPListTemplateType.DocumentLibrary);

SPList newList = web.Lists[newListGuid];
newList.OnQuickLaunch = true;
newList.Update();
