I have a MacBook AIR without IR and an Apple remote control (bought without knowing my laptop didn't have IR). I am looking for an IR adaptor. Can you please recommend me one that works on Mac?

For IR, it sounds like you want Twisted Melon's Manta TR1 ($20).
As far as a Bluetooth remote goes, it depends on what you want to do with the remote. If all that matters to you is cheap, take a look at the Targus Bluetooth Laser Presentation Remote (~$20).
From the Manual for the 13inch, here is a picture that shows you where the IR port is located.

Have a look at Mira and Remote Buddy, which are programs to enable the Apple Remote on systems that don't have it built-in (they also provide expanded functionality I believe). They both have hardware compatibility lists that should provide you with some good suggestions (here for Mira, and here for Remote Buddy.
