Yes, by default cron will mail the output.

Yes, where you put "here".

This line is similar.  ">>" means to append the output to
/var/cobalt/adm.log, and "2>&1" means to redirect errors to the
same.

I prefer to explicitly redirect both stderr and stdout, but using
the & convention is shorter and more commonly found.

That should do the trick.
