I don't really know for sure. I can just say that it's very common.

I'm not familiar with MonoDevelop, but you can change the output path
of the binary somewhere. If you change it to
workingdirector/bin/binaryname than you can place the share folder
like this: workingdirectory/share/projectname/

No, that's not a good idea. Take a look at /usr on your file system,
you will see that other programs also split up their stuff (and use
share/programname for their data). All these directories have their
special meanings, I think defined by the LSB or freedesktop.org.
