These came with your case. If you didn't keep them, yes, you need to go buy a bag of screws.

A couple of those came with your motherboard. If you don't have any spares, yes you need to buy one.

Yes.

After you plug it in boot into the bios to ensure the drive is detected. If it isn't you either plugged it in wrong or the drive is faulty.

Lol boot from usb and follow the prompts. It's very easy.

If it's a desktop PC you can just look inside and check what you need. You need everything the previous HDD has.

If it's a laptop you're probably replacing the original so you can take things from that, like screws and a possible installation frame.
