As for how they get your IP address... it's easy. Start at 0.0.0.0 and kick off a program that cycles each number from 0 through 255. Stop when you get to 255.255.255.255, see how many nibbles you got (like emails asking if it's legit [img]smile.gif[/img] ), and start over.
It's nothing personal. It's an open port / IP address thing.
And I agree -- there's probably spyware in there as well. But that's unrelated to the Messenger stuff (unless the Messenger link was clicked on).
