Answer 1

As a DVD based camcorder, it's best ability is likely that of a paperweight or doorstop.

If you are convinced that it can be used as a video device, then go to sony.com, click on the "Support" link, do a search using that model number and download - and read - the camcorder Manual.

Easiest method of transferring the video is if your computer has a drawer-loading DVD drive (get one if the computer does not have one) and download/install/use a DVD ripper like HandBrake.
