yes. convert the EPS files to PDF (e.g. using epstopdf) and put them
in the same directory as the EPS files.

no - you can make your source file usable for both latex+dvips and
pdflatex. just omit the file extensions, e.g. use
\includegraphics[angle=15]{logo}
instead of \includegraphics[angle=15]{logo.eps} or
\includegraphics[angle=15]{logo.pdf}

have a look at CTAN:macros/plain/graphics/
