Is there an install script that you ran?  Is the script a shell script?  If
so, then you can look at the script and see what files it put where.  Then
you can go remove them.  When I install anything non RPM related, I always
create a log file of the output so I know what files I can safely remove if
I need to.

As far as the fstab question, you can edit /etc/fstab.  I can't tell you
what parameters to use for NTFS, but if you know that, you can just follow
the format of the file to create the new entry.  To test the file before
rebooting, you can run mount -a, which will mount all unmounted filesystems
listed in fstab.
