Answer 1

Eclipse zipalign APKs when you export them by default.

zipalign is basically a tool available in tools directory of your android sdk.

In case you are not using eclipse to build, you can use this tool directly to zipalign your apk.

zipalign [-f] [-v]  infile.apk outfile.apk

The alignment is an integer that defines the byte-alignment boundaries. This must always be 4 (which provides 32-bit alignment) or else it effectively does nothing.
