Answer 1

you can tell the http handler which takes care of the pics- to go to the other location.

a code from my old project :

namespace ImageHandler
{
    public class HttpImageHandler : IHttpHandler
    {
        public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
        {
            context.Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
            var path = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Images/usa.png"); // here you should play with the location
            context.Response.WriteFile(path);
        }

        public bool IsReusable
        {
            get { return false; }
        }
    }
}

in web.config

<httpHandlers>
  <add verb="*" path="*.gif"     type="ImageHandler.HttpImageHandler"/>
