Go into the directory that you want to tar up. for example "cd test" then use the tar command "tar -cf outputfile.tar *.*" it'll take all of the files in your folder and tar them up. Simply move them to the new system and use the command "tar -xf outputfile.tar" and you're all extracted. I have no idea if this is going to work if you have directories in the folder you wish to tar up. I highly doubt it though.
As for your other question. I haven't the foggiest. Sorry.
