2.) You only need to decompress ISO files if they are compressed to begin with. For example if its in a .zip a .rar a .7z, or the most common winrar (.rar) split archive. (In the case of a split archive go to the first piece (usually part 1 or .01) and extract from that file and it should extract the ISO from the other peices automatically.
3.) Yes you do need to put all the files in the same directory (folder) when you extract.
4.) VGS? I wouldn't recoomend that one. Get ePSXe v1.6 or pSX v1.11. Those are the best 2 emulaotrs for PSX out right now.
Check this guide snkupo wrote yesterday to get started on how to use ePSXe, one of the PSX emulators:
