Yeah, you get bonus 2nd and 3rd level spells from a 17 Charisma, but you need to get higher level to know/be able to use the spells of that level.
Also, the Favored Class bonus that gives you extra spells only works on spells one level UNDER your highest level, which means you can only get extra Cantrips (0th level spells) with them right now.
Cantrips can indeed be cast infinitely, and yes, you only may cast your 1st level spells the number of times listed per day. After they are all expended, you must sleep for 8 hours before you can cast them again.
Eidolon feat? I don't follow. The Eidolon is a class feature for the Summoner, and a Sorcerer cannot get access to it.

When not wearing any armor, yes, you have 0% Arcane Spell Failure.
Most spells either ignore armor completely (of these, most have saving throws that target either Fortitude, Reflex or Will saves) or attack Touch armor class, which tends to be much lower than regular Armor class.
Magic Missile is an example of a spell that automatically hits, ignoring all armor and saving throws.

If you mean the "+2 racial bonus on saving throws against enchantment spells and effects" then that is only for spells cast AGAINST you, and only of that type.
As far as leveling goes, that's up to the DM. Some DMs track XP, some just decide when to level everyone up. DMs who track XP will pick one of those XP tracks, and it is the same for everyone in their game. because different races and classes all progress at the same rate in Pathfinder (except for some fringe cases that you don't really need to worry about).

That means you actually would have a 19 Charisma, which means you get a +4 to your save DCs, and 1 extra spell of each level 1-4 (though you obviously can't use the 2nd-4th level spell slots just yet. ;) ).
Racial modifiers get added on to your stats, so if you had rolled
12 Str 12 Dex 14 Con 12 Int 12 Wis 14 Cha
As a Drow, those rolls would turn into
12 Str 14 Dex 12 Con 12 Int 12 Wis 16 Cha

Keep in mind, you also do have to wait a day to refresh spells.
"To prepare his daily spells, a [sorcerer] must first sleep for 8 hours. The [sorcerer] does not have to slumber for every minute of the time, but he must refrain from movement, combat, spellcasting, skill use, conversation, or any other fairly demanding physical or mental task during the rest period. If his rest is interrupted, each interruption adds 1 hour to the total amount of time he has to rest in order to clear his mind, and he must have at least 1 hour of uninterrupted rest immediately prior to preparing his spells. If the character does not need to sleep for some reason, he still must have 8 hours of restful calm before preparing any spells." (From the rulebook).
So each day you cannot refresh your spells unless you have rested 8 hours. So you cannot use all your spells, sleep for 8 hours, use all your spells, sleep 8 hours, use all your spells, sleep 8 hours, and have three uses of your Daily spells :)

You roll a ranged attack (1d20 + Dex mod + BAB + any assorted bonuses) against the target's Touch AC.
V, S means a spell has both Verbal (you MUST be able to talk to cast the spell) and Somatic (you MUST be able to gesture/move your hands to cast the spell) components to it. M means it has a material component, some of which may not be covered by the Eschew Materials feat you got for free at first level (because you're a Sorcerer).

The V and S stand for Verbal and Somatic
V verbal means something needs to be spoken during casting
S somatic means the caster needs freedom of movement to make gestures during casting
M material means there is some physical component needed for the casting
F focus means some physical to be in the casters posession during the casting which may or may not be consumed at the time of casting.
A ranged touch attack is simply an attack that doesnt need to penetrate the enemy's armor to have an effect, so the enemy's armor class for the purposes of the attack don't include any armor or armor bonuses they might have, just like a normal touch attack. The difference of course is you can hit him from a distance instead of actually having to poke them.

Okay cool. So as a caster, I'm a pretty much limited to some kind of robe if I don't want to risk spell failure?
Keep in mind that this chance of failure is for spells with a somatic component. If a spell does not have a somatic component it can be cast with no chance of arcane spell failure.
Then you could use the feat Still Spell to cast some spells and ignore the somatic component.
I would nto do this all the time, but if needed it can be quite useful.
Then you could use the feat Still Spell to cast some spells and ignore the somatic component.Does this feat apply to all somatic spells at all times or are there limitations?
It is a Megamagic feat so it allows you to prepare spells as "still spells" but there is a cost. The spell slot shifts up. I am at work so I can't quote the specific pages, but if you go look at the Core Rules it talks about how to use these feats.

Scrolls, in use, are so you don't have to memorize certain spells (for prepared spellcasters) or burn spells/day or known on spells that aren't all that impressive (for spontaneous spellcasters). Like, who wants to keep Detect Undead memorized? But a scroll of Detect Undead works just as well and is pretty cheap.
Wands only cast a single spell, but have multiple charges of that spell, yes. Magical staves are similar, except they have multiple spells in them.
