Answer 1

You can add custom template in product-shop (css class name for the section beside product image) below the Quick View area without modifying core files. in your module's layout file add this code for the required result (do replace "module" "block" with your actual module and block names):

the target for custom block used is "other" which is a child html provided by default in view.phtml(/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/view.phtml) of magento.

Hopes it'll help.
