you should use the 'File' > 'Open' menu ... this shows a drop-down like menu of all your sketchbook projects, by clicking on one, the souce-file will be opened!
 
however, if you choose to open it in some other manner, look for the .pde file!

no you cant, the only option (if the .pde isnt in your sketch/default folder) is to open it in notepad or similar, open up p5 and paste the code in.

Open your project, hit 'Use external editor', then open in notepad/whatever.
 
You can change the location of your sketches folder using the config file.
