1st question: rpm -qpl filename

2nd question: not sure that it's possible directly using rpm. when I
have to unpack an rpm I usually do "rpm2cpio filename | cpio -i
--make-directories" I think you can append a filename to the end of the
cpio command to specify which file to extract

you might try looking at rpm --help or man rpm
