Mike,
I didn't understand your first question.
Second, auto inc PK is part of the table itself and thus would auto populated.

I don't know if it were you who asked a similar question recently, if not check SqlBulkCopy class. It is easier to use, much more flexible and IMHO as fast as bulk insert (or faster).
