Answer 1

You should start writing simple dll's (you can also write simple aplication to load and execute dll's procedures). Next step is to program better dll's (mor functionality etc.). There is a plenty of tutorials on this matters. And then you should read api documentation for application you're writing plugin to (for winamp check this site: http://dev.winamp.com/plugin-developers)
