Answer 2

if ($wp_query->current_post +1 == $wp_query->post_count) {
    // this is the last post
}

Change $wp_query to your own query variable if you made a new WP_Query object.

Answer 3

I've coded up a quick little example for you. Should explain how to get the first and last post in a WP loop.

    $post_count = 0;
    $total = count($posts);

    while (have_posts()) : the_post();

        if ($post_count == 1 AND $post_count !== $total)
        {
            // This is the first post
        }

        if ($post_count == $total)
        {
            // This is the last item
        }

        $post_count++;

    endwhile;
