Spin recovery / runway drift / braking

Hi all,
Have a few questions that I am told have been asked recently by an interviewer I am about to face (first FO job). Help much appreciated!
1) What is the correct recovery for getting a 737 our of a spin? Does it apply to most commercial jets? Is it the same as piston singles? Or would you rip the rudder off?
2) If the RW is known to be slippery and you start drifting on the landing roll, do you just use rudder to correct? Brakes? Differential thrust?
3) What is the most effective way to brake on landing? My answer would be thrust reversers at first, then brakes become more effective as you slow down.
Thank you!!!
