The term comes from American sports. A team that has no hope of making the playoffs but still has to finish the season is said to be "playing out the string." The origin might be from the American frontier, where men would strike into the wilderness with a string of horses or mules, planning to ride each one until it was "played out" (too worn out to keep going), before switching to the next. If such a person was in a lost or hopeless position, he might decide to keep going until the entire string of animals was played out.

I tune my 5th (lower) string to B. Others make the uppermost string the 5th and tune it to A. Others do neither, and have their own tunings. The 5th string is just another string used for playing.
It depends on the string you're playing. It also depends on what flat you are playing. If you are playing a B flat the most common flat, it is either a low 2nd finger(right next to your first finger) on the G string, or a low first finger(right next to the scroll) on your A string.
