Both are possible.  Most applications use audio files from the
CD-ROM. However, some applications (where quality is important)
use CD-Audio (Microsoft Beethoven, for example).

Yes.  The MPC specification requires this cabling (it is called
mixing).  All the audio sources (MIDI synth, waveform audio and
CD-Audio are mixed by the hardware to one output port (ports
for stereo) to make it easy to connect speakers, etc.

Quality is usually the deciding factor.  MPC specification has
22Khz at 8bits as the standard.  If this is not high enough
quality (and you are willing to give up the space on the CD),
CD-Audio is much higher quality and will play on every MPC system.

I use a PAS16, but I'm sure most setups are the same. Depending on the software
you run, it can include sound files, ie .WAV, in the presentation. You can
also include audio directly from standard audio CD's. You just tell the software
what track, where in the track you want to play and for how long. There usually
will be some kind audio output on the CD rom that connects to your soundboard
so you can play the tracks.
