Answer 1

You need an analog converter, either internal card or external such as the dazzle. It's very easy to use and come with good software. You would hook your analog VHS camera to the analog converter, the dazzle and then hook the dazzle to your PC. The dazzle cost around 70.00 , but worth the money if you have a lot of VHS to tapes to convert.

Answer 2

Have a look at the Kworld Professional DVD Maker (see link).  I believe it's called something different in the US, but you should be able to search for Kworld and DVD

Answer 3

in order to upload to youtube you need a digital file so yes, you need an analog to digital capture card for your pc. You may be able to pick one up on ebay for around $50. I recommend Hauppauge (I own one) or All-In-Wonder cards.
