Because it is not an installer (most OS X apps come not as an installer
but as a standalone app you can put whereever you like). The icon is the
app and you have to drag it to the Applications folder (or whereever you
like).

Yes.

In the trash? Open the trashcan and drag it out. Or open the DMG file
again and drag it from there.
