I can try to answer first two questions of yours.
(1) Mandatory things:
Get a bank account as soon as possible
Get yourself registered with NHS (get registered at the GP Surgery nearest to your place of stay-even if it is temporary)
Once you get an accomodation, submit your docs to the council office (through their one stop shop) - basically get billed for council tax !!
Depending on your lease agreement, contact the utility companies to get the account transferred in your name
If are staying in a flat which has a TV - get TV license (can join monthly plan to avoid upfront costs) - if you do not have a TV license, you may be fined upto GBP 1000
I dont think there is any other mandatory thing that you need to do.
You may want to get an oyester card for yourself to avail discounted bus/tube travel
(2) Finding a job:
The best way is to use your own networks
You can also talk to the headhunters who focus on your area of interest
Internet
These are some of the basic things that I can remember. Others are welcome to add to the list.

Please moderators make this as a sticky since this is very important phase for people who have qualified for EC to enter UK.
