The weapon abilities are the same as your other abilities like rend or battle shout. Just need to find the right person and pay the appropriate price. There might be a level restriction though

Wolfloner,
The World of Warcraft skill system awards skill points based on use, much like Everquest. You do not gain skill points to spend, you simply gain skill in a category by performing actions within the category. For instance, a mage at level 1 will start with a staff ability of 1/5, which means he has 1 skill point in it now, and he can reach a maximum of 5, by fighting with his staff, before he hits level 2. Once he hits level 2, his current skill stays the same, but his maximum skill goes up by 5. So if he has staff skill 4/5, and reaches level 2, his staff skill will change to 4/10, and he can now reach as high as skill level 10, once again simply by using his staff to fight.

Not all weapon types are available to you at the start of the game. Even Warriors start with just a few weapon types that they can use. To learn new weapon types, you need to find a trainer NPC and pay him to train you (usually, the cost is 10 silver, but polearms are 1 gold). You then start at skill level 1 with that weapon, with a maximum skill level of 5 times your level (i.e. a level 10 warrior that trains in two-handed swords gains the two-handed swords skill at 1/50). You cannot use a weapon that you do not have the skill for.

I hope that was helpful in some way! ^_^

You are very welcome.
The reason for building weapon skill is, as you might suspect, to hit more often and do more damage.
World of Warcraft is a very level-dependent game. Whether or not you hit an opponent is based largely on your skill with your chosen weapon. To expand on my previous example, if a level 10 warrior trains in two-handed swords, he starts with a skill of 1/50. This means he doesn't fight much better with two-handed swords than someone at level 1 (because someone at level 1 also has a weapon skill level of 1. 8P). His strength is higher than it was at level 1, so it isn't quite that bad, but he still will find himself unable to even hit monsters higher than level 5 or so, even though he is level 10! (just like someone at level 1...) Fortunately, the farther your current skill level is from your max, the faster you gain skill points. So when practicing with a new weapon, you likely will gain skill in that weapon type every time you attack.

Humans gain a 5 skill point bonus to both their current and maximum skill levels for both swords and maces. In other words, at the start of the game, instead of having a sword or mace skill of 1/5, your skill is 6/10, and this carries through all the way to level 60 (so at level 30, your max sword skill will be 155, instead of 150). Since the cap goes up by 5 each level, this is nearly equivalent to fighting as someone one level higher, with those weapons. Very nice. ^_^
So, if you hate swords and you are playing a human warrior, you might want to consider using maces. They are not quite as common as swords, but Blizzard is pretty good at mixing up the kinds of weapons you receive as quest rewards. You're bound to find one that is pretty good. ^_^
Oh, and in case you're wondering, this skill bonus applies to both one and two-handed weapons!

If you would like to see an example of a level 30 human warrior, click here to look at the profile of my warrior, Aelfraed. You should be able to see the skills page by clicking the Skills tab at the bottom.

You can use /tell name message, I think, but most use /w name message (which is short for /whisper name message).
Yes, you can select which realm, though it tries to pick one for you. Even if it picks one for you, you can still just click "Change Realm" and pick from the list.
