there are a few books - music industry (business ?) source book etc. that list all the current A&R, and publisher and such. Music Connection magazine used to do a once a year list on A&R , managers, publishers. You might try online search.
While I think it's a good idea to know who's who in the industry, very few (if any)
A&R guys listen to un-solicited materiel.
As far as the "send us a hundred bucks and a song, and we'll play it for the head of Warner Bros " no. doesn't work that way.

good luck DD
