The annual period starts from payment date. Your site is active usually 24 hours after signing up, in some cases 48 hours, it depends on DNS propagation through the www. The form data is usually submitted to a php script that submits it to you. If you want it to write this info in a database, you have to customize it for doing so, it is relatively easy.

Well, certainly you have to do some homework. There is a tutorial on how to create a MySQL database, but you are going to need some more studing to learn how to use and search a database. However, you can find lots of material on the subject: just try to Google it.
