Welcome to the site! Instead of having someone explain every single thing to you there are books, articles, even videos you can look up to learn and practice yourself. I think there is an article in the article section on book suggestions so have a go at that and there are definitely articles in the basics that you should begin with, for instance grounding/centering along with meditating and visualizing. The video sections may have something but that shouldn't stop you from checking them out. Good luck. :)
What you need to do is align yourself with a coven or book of shadows to start on your journey. Once you have either, you can get started and start casting spells right away.
You ask way too much. It's like ask someone to teach a 6 year old everything about science from archaeology to zoology, and to explain it so the child understands.
You might want to start with one or two basic questions and perhaps what path interests you. If you aren't sure, providing a couple core beliefs of yours will help us help you.

Well, if you're serious about learning how to do magic and with starting from the rock-bottom then you don't start out by casting spells, you start out by learning how and why magic works.
You see, there is no such thing as an "easy" spell or a "beginner" spell. One either understands how magic works and has mastered the basics...in which case the magic will work..or you haven't done that sort of work..and no spell will work no matter how "easy" it seems.
Casting a successful spell involves much more than finding some spell on the internet or in a book, saying some words, lighting a candle, waving a wand of any of that sort of thing. In order for magic to work you need to understand how and why it works in the first place. Grounding and centering, visualization, focus and intent, energy manipulation, etc are all necessary first steps to even begin to have a chance at a spell actually working...and more importantly to prevent a spell from back-firing on you.
So, my advice for anyone who is truly serious is to start by reading a few books and practicing the exercises those books will give you. Once you have mastered the basics you won't need anyone to give you spells, you'll be able to create your own spells that will be far more effective than anything you find on the net. Here's the books I suggest:
"Before You Cast a Spell" by Carl McColman
"Spells and How They Work" by Janet and Stewart Farrar
