Question 1:

It's easy. In finder, right click on the filename with the extension you're interested in.

Find the "Open with:" section,

Click on the blue part and navigate to your launcher app and select it. Then click on "Change All..."

Write down, or remember what it used to be before changing it, in case you want to go back to the old behavior. It affects all files with that extension.

Question 2:

Check this link for information on filling in the images in your assets folder: App Icons

If you include an icon in your app, and do the above steps, the icon will show. If you don't include one, it won't.
