My questions are:

How is this type of transaction usually managed?
they are negotiated on a case by case basis

Is there a going rate?
no - there are too many factors that change the rate. shooting 100 books, each with a single setup is different from shooting a gift catalog with dressed sets and props

Are there any contracts or paperwork I need to execute?  If so, where can I get them?
yes, of course. you need the usage license, the work agreement (for medium to large jobs), the model vouchers or releases if models are hired. if you rent equipment and charge other fees, there maybe other paperwork. look here for examples:

but - it may or may not be necessary depending on the size of the job or the client's requirements

How do I make sure that I retain the rights to sell my photos to others or use them own my own site?
in the us and most berne convention countries, that's not a worry unless the client requires a assignment or transfer

How do I limit his license to only permit use of the photos for his website?
covered in the usage license or work contract.

IF you shot those images during the time you said you were working for your friend in the press ...
Wouldn't those images actually be theirs and not yours ?

I have to agree.  This doesn't even sound right.  If this person was one of the organizers they should be able to get ALL the images you shot from whoever was in charge of photography. 

As a corporate event shooter, we don't charge extra for basically more shots.  If they need some product shots, we do it.  I usually only have my camera and speed lights but I do what I can.  It's not a commercial/advertising shoot.

That varies according to the original agreement. Just like the description above for how to negotiate this agreement, sometimes people will get a cheaper rate by allowing the photographer the right to resell images.

As with so many things in these forums, the answer is "It depends."
