No such thing. Autorun is considered a security risk, and therefore 
there is no mechanism for it. Mac users expect to open the cd and run 
the application manually.

Yes, put the whole directory structure as it is on to the Mac. The 
parent folder and its contents are called a "package" which appears to 
the mac user as the application itself. The user double-clicks the 
package, which then runs the application as if it were an .exe.
