I stated later in my posting--somethng you neglected to repost--that one has only to ask a flight attendant or fellow passenger for the instructions written on the door. As for your second concern, if you believe that the average sighted person, let alone the average blind person, is going to concern him/herself with getting others off a plane in an emergency situation, think again. Should I be in such a situation, I am getting out with no questions asked. I would expect help from no one except the flight attendant, and they, too, have the right to put their lives before mine. There are, however, people who would be willing to assist in the avacuation process--two blind foks have.
