You should be able to create a folder for your GnuCash files and copy the

from the menu to locate the folder you have put the files in and open the
main data file ( the one without any date-time stamp before the .gnucash in
the file extension(s)). After that you should be able to operate normally.
I'm not a MAC user so there may be some subtleties I might have missed but
AFAIK its that straightforward.
I don't think there are any further subtleties. All the relevant
filenames should start with Name_of_Account.gnucash.
The log and backup files are AFAIK created
in the same folder as the parent file.
That's correct.
I don't think there is a way to easily
locate them elsewhere.
I don't know of an way to do it either.
I have a number of separate GnuCash data files and I
put each in their own folder
That would make sense on a Mac, too. There's a lot of clutter of log and
backup files and one directory for each set of accounts files would make
sense.
