make sure you clean off both your cpu and heatsink before applying new thermal paste

something like 91% rubbing alcohol is good for cleaning off thermal paste

no, just on the cpu

the force of the heatsink pressing onto the cpu will spread the paste evenly

just apply about a rain grain's size of thermal paste and re-install your heatsink
