1 - probably easier than making a bang would be to put
cs c:\games\cs\cstrike\cstrike.exe

in your $personaldir$evars.rc, so then you can type $cs$ whenever you want to open it, or put "$cs$" if you want to use it in something like a shortcut.

2 - 2 reasons: shortcuts take up valuble screen space that could be better used by your open windows, and they are also actually slower than either well configured popup menus, hotkeys, hotspots, or mouse gestures, none of which take up any screen space at all.
