You'll find the apps in a folder call Mobile Applications within the iTunes Media folder which in turn is in the iTunes folder. When transferring them back you can just paste them back into the "Add to iTunes Automatically" folder which is also within the iTunes Media folder.
This is not really necessary, if the worst happened and your computer died, them you'd be able to re-download all the apps again. For example if you have your phone set to back up via iCloud, you can restore a new phone from this backup and not use the computer at all. However, one good reason to backup the applications in a separate location though is to allow you to retain an old version of the apps. For example, if a particular app is updated by the developer and made inaccessible, you can roll back the version of the installed app to the prior one.
