  a. Is there some code somewhere out there to convert Common Lisp to
     Emacs Lisp?

Perhaps; but a full Commons lisp to elisp converter would be hard.
cl.el has at least `defstruct' and `setf' stuff defined, so that's a
good start.

  b. If not, what does #'... do, and how do I make Emacs Lisp do the
     same thing?

#' means "function".  Where clisp has #'foo, use 'foo in elisp; where
clisp has #'(lambda (x) blah), use (function (lambda (x) blah)) in
elisp.
