Answer 1

I see 3 possibilities

• for beamer presentations, I'd go for \begin{columns} ... \end{columns} as well.
• If it is only one such plot: Minipages
• Here I used a table (column code and column result). (This example is "normal" Sweave)

For all three, the chunk options would have include = FALSE, and the plot would "manually" be put to the right place by \includegraphics[]{}.
