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.
What is the vmware image?
And where can I get it from?

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

In a terminal. Depending on your development platform this may be a
cygwin shell or a terminal window in the vmware image.
So If I install cygwin would it be in the cygwin window?
Or a command prompt window?

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.
So if I type patch -p0 < patchfile.diff
Will anything be sent to the rockbox web site or when I compile?
Is patchfile.diff the file name of the patch I want to add?
Also I am blind will I be able to use cygwin with a screenreader?
Thanks for all your help!
Daniel.
