Do you still have your old PC? If so navigate to the iTunes folder and inside you'll find a mobile applications folder. Copy this to your new PC then in iTunes click add folder to library under the 'file' menu, navigate to that folder and select it and all your apps will appear. You may need to authorise the new computer before it will let you use the apps, just got to 'store' then 'authorise computer'.

No just copy the files to a usb stick or something, then copy to the new pc, it doesn't matter where you put them on your new comp but I would suggest to put them in the same place as then any new apps you get will be kept with the old ones.

I'm pretty sure the files will be identical on a PC and Mac, I can't see apple using two different file formats for apps.
