You can approach the geocoding in a couple ways:

1. just take what is matched to the street-level and skip the rest, this would be the easiest (BTW, to geocode you use the Data Mapping or Import Data Wizards, it's fairly straightforward).

2. Or, after step export back out the ones that did match and link those back up with the original dataset using a database like access. For the next pass, try matching to city or zip -- that will help you get more of them on the map.

Alternatively you could use a robust geocoder (Sagent / MapMarker) or a geocoding service (GDT / TeleAtlas) and then just bring the lat/lon's into MapPoint.

Yes, see the Query* methods.
