The USRP hardware will only decimate by up to 128 at this time.  That will give
you 500 ks/s complex and 500 khz of BW.  In software you should then pass the
signal through a decimating FIR filter to get it down to the width you'd like. 
Nearly all of them examples show how to use one of these filters.

Yes

Just reverse the process you used to receive it.
