See http://salilab.org/modeller/9v7/manual/node445.html for a
description of the alignment file format. When Modeller reads a template
structure (one marked as structureX, for example, on the second line) it
gets the corresponding PDB file to read also from the second line,
immediately after the structureX: part. In the case at that URL, it
reads the '5fd1' PDB file. It will automatically try adding ".pdb" to
the end of the file name, but you can certainly put a full file name
there if you want.

I don't understand this question - aligning sequences is independent of
the file format you read or write them in.

I think this should be covered above. You can put your PDB files in the
same directory as your script and alignment file, or you can set
env.io.atom_files_directory to a list of other directories to look in
for PDB files. See the many examples in the manual.
