Pilate had Jesus killed. As for your first question, they put a crown of thorns on his head and they put him on a cross and nailed him to it, later, when he was almost dead, they stabbed a spear through him.

He was already dead when the spear was jabbed in his side. It was a test, if he had shown any sign of life at that point both his legs would have been broken to accelerate death. Old Testament prophesy stated that the messiah would have no bones broken while on the "tree", so he had to be dead before the test with the spear.

Also you forget to mention the flogging prior to the cross that shredded his back and probably cost him over 2 pints of blood! In which condition he was required to carry his cross himself to the point of execution (until he stumbled and fell under its weight and the Romans allowed someone else to assist him).
