PS CS Action not Working

I am trying to set up an action that I will use to batch convert 1200
files from TIFF to JPEG w/ the following parameters:

1. Max dimension = 550
2. Max Depth = 72ppi
3. Perform a Save As... -> JPEG to retain the original TIFF file.

Can someone solve these questions:

1. How do I create an action that will change the max dimension of an
image to 550, _regardless_ of whether the longest dimension is
horizontal or vertical? In tests so far, only the specific field that I
change to 550 is changed in an action.

2. How do I get the Save As... function within an action to save the
file as a JPEG simply as the file name + .jpg w/in the folder that that
file is opened. That is, if I create the save as action w/in my test
folder, then try to apply that action to a file in a different folder,
the file in the different folder seems to be renamed to the
foldername.jpg.

Thanks, -Barry
