Answer 1

Yes, that is correct.

Any image for Retina display should have "@2x" as part of the file name.

And if you have images that are different between iPhone and iPad (as iBrad mentions), you can add "~ipad" or "~iphone" differentiators to the name. Look at the "Updating Your Image Resource files" section of this Apple documentation.

Apple does have some "Custom Icon & Image Creation Guidelines" that you can look through for more details, including a section named "Tips for Creating Great Artwork for the Retina Display."

Also, here is a related question that talks about how to adapt your images for retina display.
