You know C#m is played as barre chord so for muting it you just have to gently lift your fingers from the fret board whilst stumming one way of finding key is by knowing the chords for the songs each key has sme specific chords for it(likeC has G C Am Dm .....) for scales chek out cyberfrets.com regarding your fifth question there are not many short cuts. you learn all the major and minor chords in open and barre forms, sit down with your guitar listen to the song and try out each chord until you think u are right it may take hours and you may get it entirely wrong but if you stick with it you can geta hang of it. D|--4--or--5-- A|--4--or--5-- E|--2--or--3-- this i think can be played as barre chords
