Answer 1

If you u have a CD writing sofware (  Like Nero ) You can select the option "Copy CD" at the starting of the burning. It will ask you to put the source CD, after copying the content in a temp workspace it'll ask for Destination CD during that time you can put your CD-R. You'll get same image as that of the original.

You have to copy the contents of the installation cd to your hard drive  then download nlite and create a bootable iso with it. then write it to a blank cd and youre ready.

Answer 4

I take it, that you have a good burning program. When not, install

Ashampoo Burning Studio Free

All you do now is  Copy CD/DVD

I have done the same, It can happen, the the original get scratched or breaks. Now you have at least a back up cd.
