Answer 1

What you are looking for is called a Toolpart. Take a look at this example for a tutorial on how to create one.

Overall, your general steps will be:

1. Create your custom Toolpart class inheriting from Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ToolPart
2. In your custom Toolpart, override CreateChildControls, write the code to iterate over the lists in your SPWeb, and add those to a DropDownList
3. In your webpart, override GetToolParts and add your custom ToolPart so that it shows up in the right hand side
