Hi Ganesh,

 For automating the InfoPath deployment refer the following MSDN article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/odc_ip2003_ta/html/OfficeInfoPathXSNFixu
pDeployFormTemplateScript.asp

For retrieving the SharePoint list items you can add a secondary data connection to the InfoPath form (the most easiest way). If you want to
do this programmatically then you can use SharePoint API's or write a web service for retrieving the list items.
You can use the list web service and then use GetListItems method to retrieve the list items. You can find more information about the
methods in the SharePoint help file. Which will give you some pointers to start on.

For submit using rules, you can use "custom submit using rules" option under Tools --> submitting forms.
