To answer your questions:
1. Just do it. Start programming. I'm sure it wouldn't be that huge a leap for you coming from a PHP/Java background. Start with the humble "Hello World" program, and head out from there...
2. A quick search on google or sourceforge will provide you with loads of IDE'S you can use. Just STFW (no offence :) ). Personally I prefer to use Codeblocks and Microsoft's Visual C++ Express Edition IDE.
3. This site has tons of resources. Have a look at the "Snippets" Section in the forums. Apart from that, there are millions of resources available on the net. Again, google will light the way :D
