When you setup the MacBook for the first time, the 'Migration Assistant' will pop-up and give you the option to transfer all your existing user data (email, settings, prefs etc), apps and settings from the old Mac via a Firewire cable between the two. Does it automatically...
The only thing to be aware of is you'll be moving from PowerPC to Intel, so some apps and plugins etc. may need updating to Intel versions.
Other stuff you can just copy across manually or re-install.

Just drag the Applications folder onto the dock, as you would any other icon. Then single-click to open the Apps folder, or click and hold to reveal a menu with all your apps on to launch them.
