Answer 1

You can determine the physical local path of the Web Application by querying the IisSettings colelction on your site.

Such as this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration;

namespace WSStest
{
  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://<YOURSITE>"))
      {
        string localPath = site.WebApplication.IisSettings[SPUrlZone.Default].Path.ToString();
        Console.WriteLine("Local path: " + localPath);
      }
    }
  }
}

Answer 2

siteCollection.WebApplication.IisSettings[SPUrlZone.Default].Path;
