Unless those new accounts lowered your overall utilization significantly, it wasn't those accounts that caused your score jump.

Not sure really, but it's easy enough to figure out yourself in a few minutes time with a calculator.

Just add up all of your reported credit card balances (what you owe) and then add up all of your credit card limits ($1000 + $500 + etc...).  Take your first number (total balances) and divide it by the second number (total limits) and round whatever number you get if it's a decimal to the next whole number.  For example, 24.31% rounds up to 25%.
