Something like this for #1:

!macro Overwrite Source Destination
  File `/oname=${Destination}.new` `${Source}`
  Rename /rebootok `${Destination}.new` `${Destination}`
!macroend
!define Overwrite `!insertmacro Overwrite`

${Overwrite} `$INSTDIR\myfile.exe` `source\myfile.exe`

You can check if a machine needs to reboot with IfRebootFlag.

Not sure where you got #2 from? That's a jump to label name.
