New Startup (equipment, rules, learning etc.)

My school has recently gotten approval for a quizbowl team and had our first informational meeting. I have a few questions regarding high school teams:
1. Buzzer System? (what and where to buy, approx. costs, funding)
2. Quizbowl Format (rules, team size, topics covered)
- Also, are the questions for each season formulated randomly or is there a certain set of question packets where all the questions for each year's season are pulled from during tournaments that schools practice from prior to tournaments?
- And, I think I remember there were certain questions where you could talk over with teammates before answering. When do those occur during a match?
3. How to improve (I've only once been on a quizbowl team in 9th grade at my old school and we were utterly destroyed, probably buzzing only twice each round)
- especially how to improve if you think you know nothing or only specialize in a single subject and would like to expand?
