That link is to the DoD pay calculator it'll tell you how much you get base on rank, dependents, and duty station.

Answer 2

Are you married?  If so, you will receive BAH (housing allowance) and BAS (food).  This is on top of your regular E3 pay.  The number of dependents does not affect your income.  Yes, there are programs available to assist you in buying a house.  Once you get to your permanent duty station (after training), check and see what programs are available in your area.  You will be eligible for a VA loan through any mortgage provider.
