Do you really use 1 pound of powdered sugar + 2 cups--that would seem like an extreme sugar high?

Yes, that is correct. I suggest starting with 3 cups, and adding more if necessary.

do you put the cream cheese and powder mix on cake then bake or after its bake?

The cream cheese and powder sugar mixture is baked with the cake mix. When it cooks, it sinks into the cake, making crevices and cracks, hence the name "Earthquake". It's a delicious, but rich cake!
