Read the Filesystem Heirarchy Standard. It's there in your /usr/doc/ (hopefully).

How much space should one assign for each of them during the installation?

Read the FHS doc.

When you do the installation, where does the packages get installed ( i.e. in which mount point \ directory)

Read the manpage for mount(8) and fstab(5). You need to add an entry into your fstab file. The RH installer should do that for you auto. if it detects a Windows partition.
