You have to install the p7zip package. If you look at man 7z or man 7za you will have all the answers to your questions: 1) don't use the -r option for recursion, 2) use tar in conjunction with the -si option of 7za (read from standard input) to do recursion, 3) you can create a self-extracting archive using the -sfx option, e.g.

Code:

7za a -sfx archive.exe directory

adding files to the self extracting archive does recursion as well.

It looks like version 4.43 had a bug. See an interesting discussion about this topic in the Debian forum, here. I have version 4.58 on my system (opensuse) and it works without a glitch.
