I can help with with some of those, but to describe the pronunciation is difficult (but not impossible) without a microphone. In any case, you'll have to ask one question at a time. What would you like to learn first? The sounds will be learnt best with audio clips, but at least I can tell you how similar are to English, what the differences are, and how should you place your tongue, lips, etc.
My advice:
The only advantage of Spanish over English is its logical spelling system. Most letters represent only one sound, and a few ones two, but always following strictly regular rules -no exceptions. Learn these simple rules, and you will be able to read 100% of the words accurately, and you won't have to spend years asking "how do I pronounce this word'". Avoid those absurd phonetical transcriptions to aid with the pronunciation.
Hi J
It will be difficult to learn how to speak on a forum. You will need to enrol in a local Spanish class or at least follow a Spanish course using books and discs.
