I was wondering about this. I took the train from BCN last week and was just given a ticket. I was pretty suspicious at first until the guy at the ticket counter told me it was free...and it worked.
As for getting to Guell, I took the metro to Sagrada Familia, walked up towards the hospital (along Avenida Gaudi?), and then zig zagged to the Parc. It was a fun walk. Another fun thing is to climb the hill/mountain above the Parc.
