I'm 27 and never learned how to drive before. How do I go

there are driving instructors, but expect it to be expensive. I took a few lessons because I wanted to learn stick and it was $60-70 per hour IIRC

Is it less if I just learn automatic first, and show up at the driving school rather than them coming to me?

How much training is necessary to pass the driving test and be competent driver?

Also for written test, is that something you need to take a course for or you can just look up the info on DMV website? Lots of places offer "Driver's ED" classes but not sure if its necessary or something I can learn on my own beforehand, unlike actual driving.

Depends on where you live, I think it was only $55 a lesson where I live. Definitely gets expensive though, and if you need to borrow a car for the test, they may charge you another lesson's fee for that too.

Written test is based on the rulebook/handbook thing, it should be online.

Don't worry about learning stick, nobody knows how to drive stick nowadays.

The hardest thing on the driving test is parallel parking. Other than that, drive according to the rulebook.

Do they have this for free at the DMV office so don't have to print this much paper?

Yeah, they do.

Wow, driving stick takes exactly 30 more mins of you time to learn and a day to master... How dumb are you Americans
