Correct.

I'm sorry, I don't know because I don't use RedHat. "man rpm" will help
you.

No, unless you really know what you're doing. You should put the libraries
in /usr or /usr/local. /usr/local is the better choice, because in that
way it will not interfere with RedHat's package management.
Note: I'm speaking about the compiled libraries, not about the source! You
can put the source whereever you want.

No. If you install it in /usr/local it will find it as long as
/usr/local/bin is in your path.

If I am correct, there is a link to GTK 1.2 RPMs on the GNOME webpages:
http://www.gnome.org/ .

Get the RPMs and install it using rpm (read the rpm manpage), or if you
want to compile it yourself, here are instructions to get it in /usr/local:

  tar zxvf glib-1.2.2.tar.gz
  cd glib-1.2.2
  ./configure --enable-threads
  make
  make install   (as root)
  ldconfig       (as root)
  cd .. 
  tar zxvf gtk+-1.2.2.tar.gz
  cd gtk+-1.2.2
  ./configure
  make
  make install   (as root)
  ldconfig       (as root)
