You can try out ( NinjaTrader stock, futures and forex charting software and online trading platform. ) which is free in simulation mode. Although, if you read some of the posts on this forum, most people believe that automating a trading strategy is a futile effort.
I wish you the best of luck though, as I think that some people do succeed at it.

If you want to learn about Automatic trading, watch this webinar on Big Mikes:
10 May 2012 Automated Trading and Backtesting
Presented by: Manesh Patel @ E.I.I. Capital
Platform: any one of several depending on the features you want. As the above poster mentioned, NT is free as a development platform.
Markets/instruments: something that suits your personal style, the style of the bot you build, and has enough liquidity to meet your needs.
The questions you asked have no right answer, I would just plan on doing a lot of personal research until you are satisfied with your choices.
