Within InfoPath if you select the "Web Service" advanced form template you can set your web service as the main connection. You'll then be able to pull information from the web service.

In order to submit to a Sharepoint Library you just need to add a button to your form, edit its properties select "Submit" under action, then click "Submit options...". From here you will select the "Send form data to a single destination" radio button and use the drop down to select SharePoint document library. From here just follow through the wizard and you should have a functioning form.
