Answer 1

The simplest way in ZF2 is to use the ZfcUser module for user login and registration.

Alternatively, you need to refactor to use the new Zend\Db component which has a very different API from Zend_Db.
Unfortunately, as of ZF2 beta 3, Zend\Auth hasn’t yet been updated to use the new Zend\Db component, so you’ll need to rework it considerably or wait until a later release. Also, note that ZF2 uses namespaces, so you’ll need to refactor for that at least.
