To answer both questions:

require 'test/unit'
require 'test/unit/collector/dir'

Test::Unit::Collector::Dir.new.collect

By default this recursively collects and runs all test case classes in
the current directory in files that match the pattern test_*.rb. It is
very customizable though. For example to examine all .rb files for
tests:

dc = Test::Unit::Collector::Dir.new
dc.pattern << /\b.*\.rb\Z/m
dc.collect

Someone really needs to properly document all the cool stuff included
with Test::Unit. That someone may be me eventually :)
