Since you're going to be developing on your own computer and then uploading to a different server you DON'T have control of you'll be doing yourself a disservice by not installing a system that is AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to your host. This is especially true since you're a newbie. If you download the latest version of php and start using a bunch of functions that are not available in your hosts version of php you're looking at recoding everything (not from scratch, but a lot will need to be changed). Find out what is install on your host and install that on your own computer. I'm going to answer some of your original questions now...
