The Year of the Demon is a pack of Pathfinder Society scenarios. They are meant for use with the Pathfinder Society, but can also be adapted to your own campaign.
Each of the scenarios assumes that your players' characters are part of the Pathfinder Society. The society itself has different factions that your PCs may or may not be a part of. Teams often have a mix of factions represented among their members. The factions listed under the module just have something extra included for members of that faction.
Your players have one party with a mix of factions represented.
So do my players create a party for each of the factions? And then the factions listed under each module are the ones that participate during that module?
Ah. No, your players are assumed to be members of the Pathfinder Society on Golarion. If they want to, when creating their characters, they can choose to affiliate with a faction. But they don't have to.
If you are running your own campaign, figuring out about factions might make things more complicated at the start. You can always ignore that part in your own campaign.
Yes, but be careful to match your players' character levels with the character levels for the module you're playing.
Each module will tell you what character level(s) it is designed for. Don't play a module designed for high level characters if your group is still low level.

The tier listed on each scenario indicates the level range it is appropriate for. You won't be able to run them all in order.
However, some helpful people have put together a Campaign list suggestion. Take a look at "Character 4: Season 5" for a suggested order of play. The modules without "5-" are from pfs seasons 0 and 1. They are there to make the whole list legal for organized play members. For your home game, you can replace those scenarios with modules you already have, purchase the ones you are missing, or skip them and only play the ones listed as "5-."
I would definitely recommend starting with 5-08 The Confirmation, then playing through the free downloads First Steps: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. The First Steps series gives an introduction to the various factions that your players can choose from.

5-01 The Glass River Rescue
5-04 The Stolen Heir

The Special is a multi-table event that would be hard to do in a home game, but it does set up the season if you want to run through it about 2nd level.
5-99 exists outside the storyline, it retires several factions and introduces their replacements. It would be confusing to include.
Few of the stories will line up directly, but they all serve a season-(or campaign-)long metaplot. It will start off feeling a bit random, but build into a more cohesive narrative. The summary in each scenario gives an idea of how it fits within the season.
