I've added my comments after your questions ***.

1. Will the config below work in discovering the VPI/VCI, if not what
wil work.
*** try this:
R1:
conf t
interface ATM4/0
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
pvc 0/16 ilmi
exit
atm ilmi-pvc-discovery
end

show atm vc

2. Do I need the "atm pvc 1 0 5 qsaal"?
*** No, qsaal is used for SVC's

3. Do I need to always set the "atm ilmi-keepalive". I don't
discover the prefix for the nsap address if I don't enable
the keep-alive. What value should it be set to?
*** I've never changed the ilmi-keepalive timer from it's default.
*** You are talking about PVC auto-discovery and nsap addresses in the same
sentence?. NSAP addresses are used for SVC's and VCI/VPI pairs are used for
PVC's.

4. What is the show command to see the discovered VPI/VCI? Is it
"show atm ilmi-status"?
*** show atm vc
