acpid will only do (amongst other thinks like perhaps unloading
modules, etc.)
echo -n 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep
when it detect the correct event via
/proc/acpi/event

via an external script if you press the sleep button.

You still have to write the shell script called by acpid, if
none are already done, or if the distributor have not provided
one.

Some people may want to replace the echo stuff via for
example a '/sbin/shutdown -h now'


For your second question, you first have to shutdown acpid.
Then do a 
cat /proc/acpi/event

By pressing the power button, or the sleep button, etc., you should
see those events.  acpid will do exactly the same, just that when
it look those events, it will take appropriate actions by calling external
scripts.
