No, this are not dumb questions. Just valid questions of a user testing the package ;-)

1. I do not know how big your program is, but a .com program should be small. You can add it to the metados.img file using the UltraISO editor. A test version of this editor is sufficient for that. You just open the metados.img file in UltraISO and add your program file to the metados.img file. When you run MetaDOS within DOS4WIN64, you can run your program from the command line. 

If you need more space you can make a bigger image file with the included qemu-img.exe utility.

2. Qemu features a VVFAT file system to exchange files to an NTFS disk. A bit of information about that you will find here:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Devices/Storage

You will find more information in the Qemu manual. DOS should recognize the VVFAT disk as a hard disk and let you read and write to it -> if everything is configured correctly.
