Your assuming that vmlinux is the zImage/vmlinuz, it isn't, your zImage is in linux/arch/i386/boot/ (Ok, I'm assuming i386, and that the root dir of your source tree is called 'linux').

Yep, it really dosn't care, as long as the directory dosn't move between make dep, and make zImage (or whatever).
