How to get and use SQLServerExpress Tina

sql server new users:
I already am using SQLServer 2005 Developer edition along with Management
Studio and Visual Studio 2005 Professional edition.

Now I have a project to develop and deploy a forms application that will
have to be distributed with SQLServer Express and have some questions...

Where do I get SQLServerExpress?
I assume I can run express alongside of developer edition, right?
Can I manage Express edition with the Management Studio I have or do I have
to get ManagementStudioExpress?
Are there any tricks to deploying Express edition along with my forms app?
Is there any licensing cost to deploy Express with my app?

Thanks,
T

Where:

Yes, you can run Express and Developer on the same server
Management studio - this is a difficult question in light of your previous
question. You can manage express with the full management studio but the
developer edition specifically prohibits using it in a production
application - and also you can't install management studio express on a
machine that has management studio installed. I guess the assumption is you
don't do development and production on the same machine.
Tricks? Not really there are some clues here:

There is no cost for Express.
