The paradigm is quite different from other OSes here. The links someone posted above about the filesystem hierarchy standard will help you understand. I'll just let you know that all the files related to a program won't go into a single directory, but instead they spread across the filesystem, depending on their type and / or function.

Usually no, unless you do some manual work, not worth the trouble probably.
