Well there is the graphic novel (which I've got on pre-order):
Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero
A bit of description:
> PACIFIC RIM: TALES FROM YEAR ZERO serves as a prequel to the motion picture. Chronicling the very first time Earth is menaced by incredible monsters known as Kaiju, these inhuman beasts rise from the ocean depths and threaten to extinguish all mankind! Witness the race to develop massive robot fighting machines called Jaegers, each one controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. This action-packed book features many of the key characters from the film as we follow them in their early careers. Written by Pacific Rim screenwriter himself, Travis Beacham, and with del Toro's hands-on supervision, this volume is beautifully penciled by Sean Chen, Yvel Guichet, Pericles Junior, Chris Batista and Geoff Shaw; inks by Steve Bird, Mark McKenna, Pericles Junior and Matt Banning.
But I'd love to see more from the universe, Del-Toro has created such a detailed and rich world with lots of interesting characters.
There's also a game tie in, but it sounds like it's a bit of a turkey:
Tales from Year Zero is a prequel comic book that goes into detail about the very first year the kaiju appeared.
Probably the closest we will get to a true prequel, unless the animated series goes into this sort of stuff.
That's Coyote Tango. As to your second question, there is a prequel graphic novel which IMO was actually pretty good.
"Pacific Rim - Tales From Year Zero" can be found online for digital download here, or if you're a physical kind of person, a hardcover can be found on Amazon for relatively less. Or pirate it, it's up to you.
Enjoy
here's the prequel, just ordered it myself
Here.
The comic goes into that a bit. Tales from Year Zero.
Your guess is as good as mine. If you search amazon I have found some additional information about the pacific rim universe, this book appears to be official.

And it appears there is more mecha than was actually included with the film.
This book also looks official, and interesting.

Buy it up, vote with you rdollars. Show the industry we want this and they will make more of it.
I heard Tales from Year Zero is a pretty good prequel. Haven't read it yet myself, though.
There is a comic Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero where, if I remember well there is a explanation about why they need two pilots or why they don´t use nukes.
PD: Also it is a great choice to warm up for the movie
There is a comic called Pacific Rim: Year Zero that has some of these monsters and their names. There is also the "making of" book called Pacific Rim: Man, Machines, and Monsters.
Both are really, really good. Neither of them has all of these names and in fact some are sort of contradictory. I don't have it in front of me but as one example, Mutavore is called Bladehead in Man, Machines, and Monsters.
Here.
Y'know, in case you were thinking aboot buying one.
I'm just gonna leave this here.
"Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero" is a prequel graphic novel. del Toro has said that he built a huge world for the movie, but obviously wasn't able to fit it all in. He said that there is a possibility to make this single release graphic novel into a series.
Because they've already done a prequel.
I don't know if the image is from the comic, but one does exist and serves as a prequel to the movie.
I, unfortunately, have not read it.
