5) What supplements should I take? most hardcore bodybuilders take ephedra(not ephedrine)&caffeine, ephedra is, of course, illegal, due to raising heart rate and blood pressure, but if you can get ahold of some, its the best stuff you can get, but if you cant get these, or dont want to bother, dont worry about it, these two supplements only end up increasing your metabolic rate by about 5% or so(you burn 1k cals, someone on ephedra burns 1050) protein shakes are absolutely essential to maintaining muscle, you must have protein, multivitamins are great for you as well
6) How many calories should I eat in a day? don't let yourself get too hungry, if you starve yourself, most likely your body will turn catabolic and start eating itself(muscle), while absorbing every last calorie you put into it which isnt in the slightest bit good, eat plenty of good food, i suggest finding your BMI, any online calculator will do, and have it suggest a calorie intake for maintenance(KEYWORD MAINTENANCE), i suggest doing this on a few sites since each will be different, subtract 500 calories from your MAINTENANCE calorie intake for weight loss diet, and add 500 for a bulking diet, which leads me to my next topic....
7) How do I gain muscle? protein, protein, and more protein eat shitloads of food, good healthy foods though, fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts, its all good stuff, you should order your priority on nutrients by the following 1)protein 2) low/med GI carbs 3) good fats 4) fiber 5) everything else
and thats all i have to share so far, if you have questions feel free to ask
