do you use VSTO (Visual studio tools for office)?

No, is VSTO a set of tools? Or is a support website, where one can ask questions in an open forum, and get them answered from other developers?

Wow that's a huge number of questions. I think that in general if your app is using the PIAs then you're assuming that your target audience has some version of Office installed. The PIAs will be installed in the GAC when the target user installs Office. If they don't have Office installed then why are you targeting Office?
Yes, the Office dlls are the correct way to automate Office. There's a list of the assemblies here, including some for Office 2007.

The PIAs are not installed when you installed Office, otherwise i would have been able to build the solution.

The answer is to "Copy Local" whatever assembly dll you get for the interop. Once you have the assembly dll in your output folder, add a reference to it, and check it into source control.
Now everyone has the referenced assembly dll.
