1) Do you mean installing them? You have to copy the *.DMG file into the Application folders.
Some better installation file, will copy automatically when you double click it but not all.
Even so, it's better to check whether there's a corresponding DMG file in the Apps folders

3) You can download OpenOffice, else u you to buy Office for Mac.

Hi, interested in getting one of the i7 13 inch MBP but am wondering if it's suitably powerful enough to open 50MB of excel spreadsheets with formulas in each cell.

My current windows laptop is running on i5 quadcore 2.2ghz and it's struggling. =X

No one can tell you for sure unless you try it out on your own.

From what i understand, it is actually dependent on your RAM, and how many applications are running at the same time.
