Here's the answer for problem 1 (my guess at least).  You don't have dot
in your path - try doing
$ export PATH=.:$PATH
or alternatively, run it using
$ ./hello

It will be that huge (and on mine, it's 302k).  It full of lovely symbols
and stuff.
try a:
$strip hello.exe
It will drop down to about 3k :)
