6) What software can I use to predict orbits?

For PC's:

Paul Traufler's TrakSat - Available via anonymous ftp from oak.oakland.edu as the file TRAK280.ZIP, or from wuarchive.wustl.edu, in /mirrors/msdos/hamradio as TRAK280.ZIP. TrakSat does the usual ground tracks for single satellites or a user pre-defined list. It also provides spotting charts with star charts, a view from space of a satellite's motion about the earth, and orbit prediction tables. A Windows version, WinTrak, is also available. See Paul's web page at http://www.hsv.tis.net/~wintrak/indexns.html for WinTrak and WinTrakPro.

PCTrack - This is also available via ftp from oak.oakland.edu. Use PCT214.ZIP with the instructions given above for TrakSat. PCTrack gives an excellent "3-D" view from space of several satellites.
