Well, there's system logs normally kept in /var/log. Users may have a .history file of commands in their home directories, depending on the shell used.

Yes...and outside that, unless you configure your logs to do additional logging, I don't think you'll find that information. But to read the various log files under /var/log you just cat them...for example cat auth.log.
