Yes - the dependencies are separate packages, which you need to fetch
separately. If you put them in the same directory pkg_add will automatically
find them.

Yes, see pkg_add(1):
The environment variables PKG_TMPDIR and TMPDIR, in that order, are ta=
ken
to name temporary directories where pkg_add will attempt to create its
staging area in. If these variables are not present or if the directo-
ries named lack sufficient space, then pkg_add will use the first of
/var/tmp, /tmp or /usr/tmp with sufficient space.
