Answer 1

From the manual entry : http://book.cakephp.org/view/899/CakePHP-Folder-Structure

Contains 1st party libraries that do
not come from 3rd parties or external
vendors. This allows you to separate
your organization’s internal libraries
from vendor libraries

So this would be any internal organization specific libraries that you use in your code as opposed to third party libraries (e.g. – thumbnail generators and the like)
