3.You should be going to the gym around 4 days a week with 3 day rest..
I go mon, tues and rest wed, then thurs and friday and rest weekends..
4.Try working 2 muscle groups at a time..
tri and chest on 1 day.. back and shoulders on another, legs on 1, bis and core on a day etc...
I have noticed large gains with 3 sets of max weight of around 5 reps..
every other week you should then go up in weight by around 5 pounds..
By the end of an hour, you should be dead.. like not being able to move your arms or legs etc.. take a minute or so between sets and drink lots of water..
Other than that I dont really know what else to tell you lol.. I am not a bodybuilder or anything so I am just telling you what is currently working for me..
I am 6'1 and went from 160 to 170 in 2 weeks with this diet and workout... and am still going..
let me know what other questions you have...

1. As I said, I take my time between sets, example: I can spend 10mins on a warm up and will drag out bench for 40mins then mill press for 20-30mins and super set curls and tri-extentions for an other 30.
My gym is a modern pigsty, NO ONE keeps things organized, weights and cable attachments are strewn about every where on the floor to be triped over, it's pathetic. The place is understaffed and does nothing about it, I am OCD about this so I spend my time between sets sorting out the gym for all the little man-children. it drags out the time.
2. I hear talk of eating lots of food for mass, maybe once I drop the fat I have first I will do that, but for now I will stick to cutting the fat off and work on the muscle building in what ever other ways I can.
3. That is pretty much exactly the amount I go to the gym, the days may get shifted around but that's how i end up working out.
4. My current work outs are like a day for chest/arms, a day for squats/legs, and a day for dead lifts/back.
