Answer 1

Just splice some speaker wire onto (or in the middle of) the existing wire.

Speaker wire doesn't have to be anything special, although proper wire has one conductor marked in some way (eg. different colour, line, ridge) so that you can maintain "phasing". This means if you connect the marked conductor to either the + or - (red/black, etc) terminal on all speakers. If you don't, no damage, but bass will be somewhat weaker.

Use wire the same size (wire diameter) or larger. You can get it at almost any electronics, hardware or hi-fi store, including Radio Shack, Home Depot and Wal-mart.
