This depends on your development platform. If you use the vmware image
everything needed should be already installed. I recommend the vmware
image as installation is much easier.

No. You patch the sources, typically with
patch -p0 < patchfile.diff

In a terminal. Depending on your development platform this may be a
cygwin shell or a terminal window in the vmware image.

You "svn add" a file if you want to add it *to the repository*, not to
your local copy. Unless you want to add files to the repository (which
is only useful if you *create* patches yourself or are a developer)
you'll never want to use svn add. I have no idea where this svn add
idea comes from.
