Answer 1

You can go to www.lynda.com and download tutorials for how to make short video games using Flash. You can even make games for the Wii. Everything is step by step, and really well explained.

Most of the web-based games you mention were written using Flash.  

I've got many examples from my book (Flash Game Programming for Dummies) on one of my web sites:

I wrote this using Flash MX 2004, but it still works in the newer versions of Flash.  Unfortunately, the cost of Flash is now prohibitive ($650 a copy) so I no longer teach Flash in my game development course.

I now use Python, which is more powerful than flash, but completely free.  

I wrote another book on game development using Python.  You can get to my examples and online notes for the book at

Game programming is not a trivial skill.  It takes dedication and hard work, but it is possible.  While learning a formal programming language will be necessary eventually, you might try an easier environment like scratch ( http://scratch.mit.edu ) or alice ( http://www.alice.org )  Both are entirely free, and allow you to build interesting games without previous programming knowledge.

If you want to build 3D games, look into blender ( http://www.blender.org ) which is incredibly powerful and free.  It can be intimidating to learn, but it is completely worth the time and effort.

Most of those games are created with either Javascript or Flash- both of which you have to pay for to get professional- or at least good- results.

You could try programming a game in JCreator- this is a free GUI program made by Sun to work with their Java language- and since Javascript is based on Java, you could try building a game in there.  I don't know how successful you'll be though
