Answer 1

The print screen key should save the picture in your paint folder.  I haven't used mac progrms for quite a while but you should be able to find the file without too much trouble.

Answer 2

OS X comes with a utility called Grab. It can take screenshots, time screenshots, screenshots of specific windows or screenshots of specific areas.

You can find the application Grab in your Applications/Utility folder.
