I did a filesystem search for these 2 files on my Ubuntu laptop and found nothing.  Where would these usually be?  The program is running fine (generating coins, send/receiving coins etc.)  but I can't seem to find these files.   Thanks in advance.

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

You have to create bitcoin.conf yourself if you want it. It's not created by default.

Wallet.dat is normally in ~/.bitcoin

I don't know what tools you used to search your filesystem, but some tools require an extra flag or checkbox to include directories that start with a dot ("hidden" directories).

Yep ~/.bitcoin

If you're using command line go for cd ~/.bitcoin
If not go for ALT+F2 and then type .bitcoin in the dialog box

You probably have hidden files selected in your folder preferences.  Check for that, and I bet you'll find it no problem.
