routing tables are stored in routers...
your gateway is the ip of the router that has a routing table for when your packet gets there...
as far as the other question...do you have a computername?
if so..
start>run>type 'cmd'>click ok>at prompt type -
'ping -a [computername]'
that will show ip address in the results...
you can use 'nbtstat -a [computername]' to resolve MAC addresses

Routing table is stored in the router software configuration. Mac is hard coded in the physical device to which you do not know the IP address so you won't be able to do that.

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a handy little networking utility that you can use to find the MAC address of another computer on your network. Before you can communicate with another computer on the network, the computer name must be resolved to an IP address. Then the IP address must be resolved to the MAC address or physical address. This is done using ARP. Your computer will keep a physical address translation table.
If you want to determine the MAC address of another computer, simply ping the computer by opening the command prompt and typing ping followed by the IP address assigned to the remote computer. Since the IP address has to be resolved to the MAC address, an entry will be added to you physical address translation table. At the command prompt type arp -a. The results will display the IP address and the MAC address of the remote computer.

well if you have a communication between that ip address and you dont know the ip address and the mac address then you can easily do so by using a software called etherpeek

Most connections to the internet are now becoming multi use, several machines connecting to a route, the nat translation will hide the machine behind it's own public IP.

impossible. The MAC address is hardcoded into NICs (Network Interface Cards), and routing tables are stored in routers that have routing tables. (Not all of them do, but it makes life a lot easier)
