Wa Alaykum Salam Brother,

Welcome to Islam, any answers insha'Allah should be through people who know what they talk about, so we do not make mistakes, that is something important.


Here is something on the prayer, http://www.understand-islam.net/salat/index.html

To the actual perfomance check this

http://www.understand-islam.net/salat/04.html

The tashahud should be there somewhere, go through it insha'Allah.

As for the rest of the questions insha'Allah, God willing, someone will reply, the answers are commonly known, but the delay in reply is probably due to finding evidence from scholars for you, since in Islam we try to refer back to people of knowledge to minimise mistakes.

Anyhow, welcome bro,

Your brother.
