I can answer to the 2nd question.
It's written in AWK but I guess you can convert it to whatever language.
Here's a sample input of H2O:
8 0.000000 0.000000 0.127189 -0.330
1 0.000000 0.758094 -0.508756 0.165
1 0.000000 -0.758094 -0.508756 0.165
The first column is an atomic number, 2-4 th columns are (x,y,z) coord
and the final column is an atomic charge.
Cut out the following script, make it executable and name it 'dipole'.
On the command line, you'd enter 'dipole inputfile'.
>From the above example, you'll get a dipole moment of 1.007927 Debye.
