Answer 1

What have you tried so far ? If you use delimiters to define your columns (as in Example 2), you should be able to load your data.
SQL> create user srini identified by xxxxx default tablespace INTERIM temporary tablespace temp;
User created.
SQL> grant dba to srini;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> connect srini/xxxxx
Connected.
SQL> create table emp (emp_id number(3), emp_name varchar2(50));
Table created.
SQL> create table dept (dept_id number(3), dept_name  varchar2(50));
Table created.
SQL> select * from emp;
no rows selected
sqlldr srini/xxxxx CONTROL=input.ctl LOG=input.log
