1st off, thanks to everyone reading & replying.
Never mined any coins before, so this is all pretty new.
After a bunch of trial and error with miners (the sg miner listed here did not seem to work for me nomatter what) I came across ccminer that supports x11. I managed to get it working, I think:
C:\Users\C\Downloads\ccminer-1.0-windows-new\ccminer-1.0-windows-new\x86>ccminer
35.exe --algo=x11 -o stratum+tcp://drk.coinmine.pl:6090 -u yourworker.1 -p passw

This is version 1.0 (beta)

Question 1: Is there another miner I should be using or is this one "acceptable"?
Question 2: What pool should I join? I've looked around and many don't seem to be operating anymore or I couldn't sign up for some reason. I guess I'd like to join a p2p pool?
Question 3: All I need to do is edit this [stratum+tcp://drk.coinmine.pl:6090 -u yourworker.1 -p password] correct? Is this in another file or can I just type it in the command line?
