Thanks. Should this function to be included in customizations.el or which file?

I found an answer to my question number 2:

I included these lines of code to customizations.el

(setq comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input t)
(setq comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output t)
(setq comint-move-point-for-output t)
