Answer 1

The yellow RCA jack is analog - composite - video. The white RCA jack is mono analog audio.

You need to use an "Analog/Digital" bridge:

Camera connects to A/D bridge; A/D bridge connects to computer.

Answer 2

Yes, this is possible The outputs on your camera are called A/V outputs, (Audio/Video) which is the most common use for video transport, although USB and FireWire are the most common on a computer, they do make adapters. The most common and reliable is AV to USB, even though most modern cameras use FireWire. Here is a link to an AV to USB adapter, it's up to you to find a proper price.

I have found a cheaper one in a Target store recently, but could not find it online. Next time you're in Target (if ever), or any other store alike, take a look in the computer software section. Good Luck.
