.nfo are text files usually about the other files you have downloaded and .sfv files are just verification files to check the others that have been downloaded with it AFAIK

You dont burn the bin file literally. In nero look for the option something like 'Burn image' once selected it will ask for location of the bin/cue file.

If you have nerp or similar installed, when you click a .bin file it opens nero and burns it for you.
