There are any number of possible formats for encrypted data. You could have raw binary RSA encrypted data, but that's not all that useful. You might have one of the more common formats (like PKCS1) which can either be PEM or DER encoded. There is no "one right format". > 2. How is the input data interpreted ??

Generally, the RSA encryption scheme doesn't care what the data means -- why should it?
