As for your problems. Your directories where everything is located look like where things were placed in OS X 10.1. Apple and the MySQL package installer install everything in the /user/local/ directory. This started with 10.2. That's probably where all your problems are coming from.
I would highly recommend removing your current MySQL install and installing it again so that are your files are in the default locations. That will make things much easier going forward, especially if you don't know how changing directory permissions will affect the OS.
The graphical package installer for OSX available from mysql website does a good job of setting things up and putting things in the right place. There is also an installer for having MySQL startup automatically when you boot. The startup script adheres to Apple's guidelines including an XML based parameter list file.
