Question No.1: Youcannot install drivers which are not meant for a particular operating system. Of course there are software like driver magician which takes back uos, but that is to be used for the same OS/computer combination only. Generally Win 7 picks up almost all the devices automatically. For vista you may go the respective manufacturer's site and see suitable drivers for vista are available or not.

For second question: I also would like to know.
