Bridge to Lightroom

[acutshall]

In the past I have been using bridge and recently bought Lightroom, I am confused about a couple of things:

1. Bridge is set up to auto import the RAW images when it sees the camera(via adobe raw), how to I switch bridge off and set up LR to do this job.

2. Does LR use my creative suite color settings (import the files as raw , adobe prophoto, 16 bit).

3. The  Raw files that I have already imported into Bridge have generated a sidecard xml, how will LR room handle this when I import those files.

Thx
