1. Deployed packages are still stored in Pega Package Server. Automation Importer is not a replacement of Package Server, it only stores metadata of packages for usage by Pega Platform (for Robot Manager). If you have Automation Importer installed and configured when you do deployment it automatically generates files containing metadata and publishes to configured repository location.
2. When you configure repository in Pega Platform, you have to specify type of repository (file system or some kind of cloud storage) and provide path or connection configuration. Depending on repository type you may have different ways to navigate to actual folder with artifacts. For file system you can just go to the folder path configured in repository settings. https://community.pega.com/sites/default/files/help_v83/procomhelpmain.htm#data-/data-repository/new.htm
3. You don't have to. Just use regular Pega Import Wizard on target environment to import artifacts generated in repository from source environment.
