If I convert a .jre file to a windows native executable .exe then do I
need to (1) link the .exe to the .jre, or (2) put the ,exe and .jre in
the same folder? Thank you very much!

No, generally the .exe makers include a JRE or the parts
needed, and install it silently.

No. See the first answer.

Just one more useful link to native executables producing tool.
(By the way, it provides an installer for Java programs that can solve
your another installation problem mentioned in another thread)
