When ever you place a heatsink on any surface, you're best off having a thermal interface material between the surface and the HS. This is because the two pieces of metal will have small ridges and imperfections. ASIII or other pastes fill these in, and help transfer heat alot better.

Yes, Thermal grease allows heat to transfer better by filling in micro sized divits in a chip.
thus giving a perfect surface for heat to transfer, any time you are applying a HS to a chip use thermal compound.
and if you want even better lap your HS and chip, but when doing the chip be very, very careful. if worried about ruining your chip at least to the HS so it has a better surface for the compound to seal.

no, you apply it to the chip. go to arctic silver's website to see how to apply it to a cpu. its the same for a nb just more arctic silver.
