Probes you can get off eBay or from a electronics jobber. They may cost more
than the scope (go figure).

Same as a computer - European DIN 6 amp. Really old ones may use an odd ball
cord.

Go to the library and look for, "How to use your Oscilloscope" or similar.
An ARRL handbook or a generic test equipment book may help also.
