  1. Why not simply query for your custom post type? An example:

    <?php
$args = array('post_type' => 'your_custom_post_type');
query_posts( $args );

// the Loop
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
  //Do your stuff  

  //You can access your feature image like this:
  the_post_thumbnail();
endwhile;

  2. Below is the example to retrive feature image. 

$args = array('post_type' => 'your_custom_post_type');
query_posts( $args );

// the Loop
while (have_posts()) : the_post();

if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {

//Image size small,large or medium
  the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail',imagesize);?>


}
?>
endwhile;

  3. I have implemented this by getting array of all images from custom post type and storing it in variable $myimage.
    $myimage[0] is the src for img tag which need to catch in loop to get all images

    global $post;
$args = array(
'post_type' =>'slideshow',
'numberposts' => -1,
'orderby' => 'menu_order' );

$slider_posts = get_posts($args); ?>
<?php if($slider_posts) { ?>
<?php // start the loop
foreach($slider_posts as $post) : setup_postdata($post);
$myimage = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'full');
