1. Drag-copy the files there.
2. Yes; if the tracks came from an Apple Music subscription, they'll only play while it's active and only within the iTunes Store system.

So I will have to log into ITunes to play them, they won't work with QuickTime or another player?
It depends on what type of files they are.

Do you could think I could save them as another format? I am using these for a play list for a 55th HS Class Reunion and want to make sure they will play once I get there.
If they came from an Apple Muisc subscription or have a different form of Digital Rights Management, no. Otherwise, yes.
