Welcome to the 505 Matt!

1. With the free books on the CD, probably not. As someone pointed out, they're DRM'd. A non protected file can be reformatted in calibre. Don't despair though, these free 100 books you received are public domain books, and are available free just about anywhere, including here for the most part. If there's one you really want to read, search the uploaded files forums here or head over to Project Gutenberg.

2. No, luckily they don't. It depends on the publisher and all that, but from my experience most purchased books will fill the screen as you'd want them to.
