Im not sure how to solve the issue, but posting a screen shot would definitely be good for others to look at to try and diagnose the problem

You need to host the image on a website of some kind (like ImageShack, Photobucket, Flickr etc).

Also, your caps key appears to be broken.

Those are the disk images that the applications are distributed on. You need to drag the application out of there into your /Applications folder. You can eject those when you've done this.

Yes. Once the application is copied to the computer, you'll have a fully installed application.

Once in a while, you'll have an installer that you need to double click on instead of dragging to the computer. Take a look at this for more info.
