No, it'd be "/irex/outbound/008a0092.pnt/"

Yes. From the Binkleyterm Reference Manual (BT-REF.TXT):

             Where is the outbound area for points?  Let's say you are storing
             mail for points off of a system whose address is 1:132/491.  You
             would do so by creating a directory 008401EB.PNT in your Zone 1
             FidoNet outbound directory. (the hex representation of
"132" is
             "84", "491" translates to hex
"1EB", so "008401EB" represents
             132/491 in hexadecimal)

             If you were in Zone 1 of FidoNet, a crash packet to this system's
             point 12 ("12" is "C" in hex) would be
something like:

                    C:\BINKLEY\OUTBOUND\008401EB.PNT\0000000C.CUT
