The following function will return the directory name where the notebook file is stored.
NotebookDirectory[]:=
DirectoryName@ToFileName["FileName"/.NotebookInformation@EvaluationNotebook[]]
I have this as part of my init.m file that gets executed at the start of every session. Then to achieve what you want all I do is
SetDirectory@NotebookDirectory[]
at the begining of the notebook file
I omitted your second question since it deals with how Mathematica runs under Windows. Since I use a Mac, I've no idea how to achieve the desired response with Windows. On a Mac running OS 10.3 what you want can be achieved with Expose.
