1) Usually somewhere in /usr/bin, if you are trying to install something, use Add/Remove or Synaptic
2) You need to be running compiz, and to enable the effects etc. before making them work (also check the key bindings etc. :))

1. Where are programs installed?
Programs are installed in a number of places. "/usr/bin", "/usr/sbin", "/bin", "/sbin" are common places for programs.
If you want to know where an individual program is located you can use 'which' or 'whereis' on the command line:
e.g.: looking for 'echo' program
$ whereis echo
echo: /bin/echo /usr/share/man/man1/echo.1.gz /usr/share/man/man3/echo.3ncurses.gz
$ which echo
/bin/echo
To see where the command line looks for programs:
echo $PATH
