1) Make a Dowsing Rod, equip it, then you will periodically see a circle with a wedge appear below you. That tells you the direction of the well. The exact spot the well needs to be built will be a small "puddle" on one tile.
Also of note, you can get water from any river or lake.
2) First you need to plow the ground, either by hand or with a wooden plow; the wooden plow is far more efficient. Now that you've plowed the ground, left click the seed from your inventory then right click on the plowed ground.
3) Impossible. There will always be someone somewhere that can and will destroy everything you have if they feel like it. However, building a palisade around your area, and claiming everything within two tiles of it will deter many people.
