The CA cert (/etc/ipa/ca.crt) should be enough, it signs all the other 
certs. Make sure you import it with the right trust level (SSL 
certificate signing). Unfortunately I don't know about jre's keytool so 
I can't be more specific.

Do not do this. You should only explicitly trust the CA cert.
For example, if you trust the certs explicitly you'd have to re-import 
them one by one when they are renewed.

If you really want to:
There are two certs, one for httpd (Web UI, XMLRPC & JSON APIs), and one 
for the LDAP server.
To export the httpd server certificate (to PEM):
$ certutil -L -d /etc/httpd/alias -n Server-Cert -a
To export the directory server certificate (to PEM):
$ certutil -L -d /etc/dirsrv/slapd-$INSTANCE_NAME/ -n Server-Cert -a
But again, you don't need this for what you're trying to do.
