Please see the rules FAQ entry at [1].  If the rules are in the ontology
they impact reasoning, there is no special method to execute.

Assuming both files are loaded to Pellet, there is no problem with this.

Yes, see the examples directory in the Pellet distribution.  There is a
file RulesExample.java that demonstrates using rules and Pellet via the
Jena interface.
