Yes, it's called python15.dll for good old version 1.5.2, python16.dll
for version 1.6 (now in beta), etc.

Yes.  The python16.dll may or may not be enough (you may need further
.pyd files if you're using them from your scripts, .py or .pyc files
if you're using those, etc), but you can for example avoid distributing
the 20,560 bytes of python.exe if your own application has another
.exe which 'embeds' Python (==directly loads the appropriate .dll).

See http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/install1.html for various possibilities.
