Answer 1

if you want to allow everyone in AD read access to a site you'd go to Site Settings -> Advanced Permissions -> Add -> Users and then add "NT Authority\Authenticated Users" with read access.

Yes you can do the exact same thing with AD security groups, but I don't think AD distribution groups work.
