Answer 1

EVs = Effort Values

IVs = Individual Values

Answer 2

The matter of IV and EV training is much more difficult than just "getting them up". To put it simply, IV's are values that are static with every individual pokemon, meaning each pokemon has a set that you cannot change. They range from 0-31 and each counts as 1 stat point at level 100.

EVs, or effort values, are points gained through battle. Different pokemon provide different EVs, and thus the good trainers know how to spread the EVS around to best utilize them (Ie. A special sweeper won't need attack EVs). 4 EV's are worth 1 stat point at level 100, and there is a set amount of points you can put into any one stat (if i recall correctly its 255)

If you require any extra information, head over to gamefaqs and check the Diamond/Pearl message board.
