The first question is easy: Jaws, Window Eyes, IBM Home Page Reader, in 
roughly that order.  JAWS is undisputed first place.

Websites that are useful:

http://www.accessiblenet.org/
http://diveintoaccessibility.org/table_of_contents.html
http://www.juicystudio.com/tutorial/accessibility/index.asp

Doesn't hurt to read books either:
Accessible Web Sites - Jim Thatcher, et al
Building Accessigle Websites - Joe Clark
