Answer 1

Frankfurt to Heidelberg is not far way traveling with car less than 1 hour. For train connections check the web for times and prices: www.bahn.de  

Answer 2

When I did that last year, we went by train with the RE and it took about 1h to get there. If you go on the week-end, you can buy a week-end ticket (Wochenend Ticket) and both of you can travel on it. I don't remember the exact price but I believe it's around 20 or 25 Euros (might be wrong though). You can check directly at the station in Frankfurt.

Answer 3

The trains in Germany are absolutely amazing. In trains you have two choices: the ICE (faster, but pricier) or just a normal train. Not sure about the exact prices though. But train is definately the best way to go. Try the main train site: http://www.bahn.de/p/view/index.shtml you can change the language to English on the right hand side.
