On a side note, is there anywhere I can go to grab some nice award icons?

There's a link at the top of award images in the similar mod sections, I don't know the quality or variety of the images, short of that you'll need to make your own, find some free ones or pay for images.

You can't unless you customize the code.

They are only vertical because your images are so large, there's no way to fit two of those images side by side in your postbit.

Alright that makes sense, is there a way to change the width of that box?

Yes, change the width of your postbit since the awards box sizes itself accordingly, its controlled via a stylevar, but I can't remember which one.

You don't edit it, it's an outdated file that you could you in previous versions to reset the css to default. To edit the CSS for yaas use the style manager in admincp.
