Answer 1

you might mention that you are using cck, imagefield, filefield (or whateever you are using).

cck automatically adds template variables for custom fields. they are accessible via $field_<field-name>, eg. $field_mytext and $field_myimage. do a var_dump($variables) or var_dump($field_myimage) etc. in you node-mycontent.tpl.php to see how these variables are structured.

cck for themers might also be of help.
