Answer 1

Eval this with M-: (find-file user-init-file)

Emacs will then open what it considers your user initialization file.

I have

(global-set-key (kbd "<f12>") (lambda () (interactive) (find-file-other-window user-init-file)))

in my .emacs so that i can easily edit this.

Answer 2

The Emacs manual tells you:

This file, if it exists, specifies how to initialize Emacs for you.
Emacs looks for your init file using the filenames `~/.emacs', `~/.emacs.el',
or `~/.emacs.d/init.el'; you can choose to use any one of these three
names.  Here, `~/' stands for your home directory.

Most people use ~/.emacs, I think. Just do C-x C-f ~/.emacs to create it if you do not yet have one.
