How would one go about getting this gift-wrapped?

Hi,

I have some questions about the following dialog.

A: Can you gift-wrap these?

B: No. I am sorry, we don't wrap.

A: How would one go about getting this gift-wrapped?

Does "one" mean "people"?

Does "go about" mean "walk around"?

Can I say "How would one go about to get this gift-wrapped?" instead of "getting this gift-wrapped"

Thanks,

Ryo
