For question #1, take a look at 'show application meetme' and some of the 
examples on the wiki. Here's two simple examples:
; Meetme Conference room #1 (no pin required) 
exten => 3555,1,Meetme(3555|pM)          
                                         
; Meetme Conference room #2 (pin number required to join)
exten => 3556,1,Answer
exten => 3556,2,Wait,1
exten => 3556,3,Authenticate(45678)
exten => 3556,4,Meetme(3556|pM)

For question #2, not sure how to accomplish that; never had to attempt
that before. Pure guess is it would likely involve an AGI script and
multiple access numbers, but others may have a better perspective then I.
