anywhere you want

Generally yes (it should have the same structure as where VS puts them, if your exe is normally in somedir/application.exe and your dll is in somedir/anotherdir/application.dll then you'll have to replicate that structure.

Yes.

The easiest way will probably be to do:

Open the Mono Command Prompt
execute "cd /D X:/myproject/bin/Debug/"
mono myapplication.exe

where X:/myproject/bin/Debug is the directory where VS puts the executable and myapplication.exe is the name of your executable.
