Yes, just make sure you don't freeze them (as you wouldn't if you moved them) when you export.

Forward.

...which doesn't have any real meaning. If you look at a null when you place it, the axes in XSI correspond to the axes in Particle Editor.

Change the shape of the null to Arrow, and that will show you where it points.

It's in the properties box of the null, the "icon" under "primary display."
