Answer 1

The following steps should get you there:

1. Add a reference to Pex.NUnit.dll in your test project
2. In your test project's AssemblyInfo.cs, add the attribute - [assembly: Pex.NUnit.PexNUnitPackage]
3. Build your solution (either from Visual Studio or using msbuild from the command line)
4. run Pex from the command line: pex.exe bin\Debug\TestProjectName.dll
5. The tests are placed under reports\TestProjecName.#####.#####\tests.

You can read more about this in Exercise 5 of Parameterized Unit Testing with Microsoft Pex

Answer 2

Ryan Gross' answer points to the right direction.

However Pex.exe generates Unit Tests from Parameterized Unit Tests, not from application classes itself.

To generate Parameterized Unit Tests you need to run pexwizard.exe

pexwizard.exe <your assembly name> options

Possible options are described in http://testoriented.googlecode.com/svn-history/r89/suitability/trunk/Tools/Pex-0.22.50128.1/pexwizard.txt
