Answer 1

For a drywall ceiling, use a stud finder to locate the ceiling joists---usually spaced every 16 inches or two feet on center....use drywall or construction screws that are 1 1/2 inches longer than the material you're attaching. Crawl in the attic if possible to check the spacing and direction of the joists. For texture ceilings or plaster/lathe, use toggle bolt fasteners....you can poke small holes in the ceiling along the route of the board you're attaching to try to find the joists...make sure they are joists and not just the wood lathe if that's the type of ceiling you have.

Where-ever you buy the standard doors, you can order doors to size. A bit more costly but if you can't alter the size of the standards, then there is no alternative.
