About the shiftercable:
- first make the correct length of the housing (you call it outer cable) for the part between frame and shifter (don't make it to short)
- install end cap on the housing/cable
- Connect cable to the shifter
- Put the cable in the housing
- put the cable then in your frame
- when it comes out the frame, install last part of the housing (don't forget the two end caps)
- install shifter to the handlebar (you could do it some steps earlier)
- install the derailleur
- connect cable to the derailleur.
Please consider running the shifter cable full housing through the frame. I did. I drilled out the cable stops in the frame (at the top and at the rear). I hope this won't happen to me: http://forums.mtbr.com/29er-bikes/chinese-carbon-29er-640919-post11778869.html#post11778869

Yes, both on the left. The cables will make a nice curve.
And take a look to these instruction video's, especially this one: "How to Adjust Shimano Rear Derailleurs"
