The only "multiple image" widget available in a default Magento install is the EAV Attribute type gallery.

I'm pretty sure however that you'll need to implement the same Adminhtml_Widgets in order to use it on something other than a product (like a custom EAV Entity with a custom form).

If you just need a custom form (without a custom entity or for a custom Flat entity) you may be better off creating your own Controllers and implementing SWF Upload yourself using your own logic/structures.

If you are certain, that you have imagefilename ID in $data, then load image file name from DB, and add it to $data with 'imagefilename' then when you do setValues, it should be picked up. If it is not too much overhead, add a JOIN to initial data loading part and fetch image file name there. Will save you one more trip to database.

It is better to tie the validate methods to the model. In your model you can include the validate method as follows:

public function validate() {
    $errors = array();

    if (!Zend_Validate::is($this->getFirstName(), 'NotEmpty')) {
        $errors[] = 'First name is needed';
    }

    if (!Zend_Validate::is($this->getLastName(), 'NotEmpty')) {
        $errors[] = 'Last name is needed';
    }

    if (!Zend_Validate::is($this->getDesignation(), 'NotEmpty')) {
        $errors[] = 'Designation is needed';
    }

    if (empty($errors)) {
        return true;
    }

    return $errors;
}

Then in the controller you can use it as follows:

if ($data = $this->getRequest()->getPost()) {

        $users = Mage::getModel('tableop/users')->setData($data);

        $session = Mage::getSingleton('tableop/session');

        $validate = $users->validate();         
        if ($validate === true) {

....etc

For the error and success messages part, you can use Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addError or addSuccess methods. You can use your own session objects also.
