Hi,
I'll leave the questions for how to properly buildi the membrane
system to those far more knowledgeable than I (although people have
had lots of success with CHARMM-GUI, you may want to try that).
As far as relaxation of the system, once you've got a
topology/coordinate file you can try to use the following protocol:

I've implemented it in an Amber-specific script here:

Hope this helps,
-Dan
