Answer 1

Open Control Panel and go to Sounds

Look for a tab called Recording or Microphone.  If there is a Microphne connected, it will show there.  

To see if it works, you can go to Programs > Accessories > Sound Recorder.  Start a new recording and talk to your computer.  If the levels indicator bounces around while you are talking, you are recording.
