CVS does not operate on directories, it operates on files. Once you have created a directory it's there foreverver (unless you pop into the repository and remove it by hand at the risk of breaking someone else).
To "remove" a directory, remove all the files in it and then do a 'cvs update -Pd' in the parent. This will nuke empty directories. It's all described in the docs. One way to answer your second question is to try it. Moving files around makes it impossible for cvs to fix things.
