These are the so called pseudo instructions provided by MPASM. Pseudo
instructions are like macros, except that are supported by the
compiler.

If you go to the Help menu, Topics, MPASM Assembler, then you can find
many useful information about programming PICs -- that's a rather well
worded help file. Now if you select Reference, 12/14bit instr. with
pseudo instructions, then you could find these ones as well as others.
If you want to know other instructions you need to go to previous
sections.

The rest of your questions were nicely explained by Neil.
