Thats how you apply the grease and either you can use a straight edge to spread the grease or the Heatsink locking down should spread it out. You do need to get the cpu hot afterwards with a burn in test to help it cure in place.

Here is a complete guide to help.

Lastly if you want better thermal grease I suggest AS5. This is enough to do several so only use a small amount about the size of a pea.

No. You should not put anything on the bottom of the CPU or in the CPU's socket. The correct amount of thermal paste to put on a CPU is arguably about the size of an uncooked grain of rice, in the middle of the heatspreader. Then, place the heatsink on top of it and let the weight of the heatsink spread it out.
