Answer 1

It stuck the new clip into documents and so how do I get it into imovie now?
If you don't want the file placed there, next time change the target location before pressing the "Make" button. Appleman has given you one easy method. Another would be to simply drag the file from the "Documents" folder and drop it to any Event name in your Event Library list. Another method would be to create a new folder, name it, put the file in the named folder and place the folder into any convenient "iMovie Events" folder already in use. The next time you open iMovie, the new "Event" folder name will show up in the Event Library list. Be advised however, that movie clips cannot be dropped directly to either a Project window (like music or photos) or an Event window.
I am so frustrated with this thing!! I just bought this new ilife disk thing because it was supposed to make it easier to make movies or something. I haven't found the 'easier' part yet. ugh.
Multiplexed MPEG formats (MPG, MPeG, VOB, MOD, MTS, M2TS, etc.) cannot be edited at the frame level. They must be converted. You can either convert them yourself or try to get iMovie '09 to convert them as part of an "Import from Camera/Archive" process. Some individual have reported the iMovie '09 will convert multiplexed MPEG-1 files, as well as, MPEG-2 files. You can always search the forum and see if you can duplicate their work flow. I usually recommend MPEG Streamclip since it is 100% effective assuming the source file is not corrupted (i.e., improperly terminated and track descriptions are in tact.) It also has the ability to "fix" timecode breaks which can occur when segments are merged. While PC platforms ignore such things, QT does not since it uses temporal synchronization rather than spatial synchronizations.
