Answer 2

Um, you're going to need to erase the white around your model, to make it transparent. My general solution would be Photoshop, but it's clearly not free. GIMP is, however, and might be useful if you plan on doing more of this sort of thing. Try to Google it. :)

But yes, anything with layers works. Just erase the white and keep your tree on a layer behind them. It'll be rather jaggy with the edge around your model and different lighting in the photos, but I don't think you're planning on a high-quality image, correct?
