*) SSL certificates are stored under /etc/ssl on Debian/Ubuntu.
*) If you're going to purchase a SSL certificate, please generate a new one yourself. You can generate one with script shipped in iRedMail: tools/generate_ssl_keys.sh.

Short answer, YES. It generates a cert key and a private key.

The pem file is what you're looking for.
Linux/BSD doesn't care about file extensions, '.txt', '.csr' is just a mark to help you understand what file type it's. it doesn't really matter.

In your case, someone uses '.pem', and some uses '.crt', you use '.csr'.

Yes.

The best solution is following the tutorial provided by your SSL certificate provider.
