if you know nothing get a garage to do it.
it is easy to do but could become tricky if you come across seized bolts etc

no it wont be a lot louder. to make it a lot louder you'd have to remove the centre box

ive got a 1.6 sport and just had my cat emptied so basicaly a de-cat. it makes the car sound alot more raspier, personally i thought it sounded better before.

ive noticed a slight increase in performance but not much at all, just drives easier and the exhaust just feels less bunged up. its prob only worth it if you've got other fairly extensive performance mods in my opinion.
