AFAIK The only CDRom drive that would work through PCMCIA would be a SCSI one using a Squirrel SCSI interface.  The Tosh one will be 32bit, A1200's socket is 16 bit, and there's no drivers for anything else.  You can, however, use an old 3Com 10MB/s PCMCIA network card (cheap on ebay! 3C589 IIRC).

If you're using UAE just make the directory that you've saved it to into a mouted directory in UAE and copy it from there.

a file that ends in .info is an Amiga icon, if thats all you have then you don't have all of Workbench!  When you have a complete set of Workbench floppies (or under UAE a set of ADF files, which are floppy 'image' files) one of them will be an 'install' disk.  You start the Amiga with the main Workbench disk in, then put in the Install disk and use the install program on it (it's all really easy if you already have the harddisk formatted!).

Installing a workbench thats newer than 3.1 needs a CD, and is a little more involved! (plus your real Amiga needs add-ons to use them properly).
