Go to the java download site, you can get there right from this forum, and download the compiler that's right for your OS. That and a program editor and you're good to start.

Either or. The beauty of java is that this really doesn't matter.

That question is really too general to be answerable. Here's the best tip I can give you: get a good beginners book. I like Head First Java but there are many others. Go through a book or two and go through the tutorials. I don't recommend that you just jump right in and try to code by trial and error.

Well then, good luck.
Here's my standard list of resources for beginners and intermediate. Unfortunately, it's formatted for when the forums accepted [ url ] tags, and, since I'm too lazy to redo it right now, I leave it as an exercise for the reader to pull out the good bits.
[url=http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/]Sun's basic Java tutorial[/url]
[url=http://java.sun.com/learning/new2java/index.html]Sun's New To Java Center[/url]. Includes an overview of what Java is, instructions for setting up Java, an intro to programming (that includes links to the above tutorial or to parts of it), quizzes, a list of resources, and info on certification and courses.
[url=http://javaalmanac.com]http://javaalmanac.com[/url]. A couple dozen code examples that supplement [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201752808?v=glance]The Java Developers Almanac[/url].
[url=http://www.jguru.com]jGuru[/url]. A general Java resource site. Includes FAQs, forums, courses, more.
[url=http://www.javaranch.com]JavaRanch[/url]. To quote the tagline on their homepage: "a friendly place for Java greenhorns." FAQs, forums (moderated, I believe), sample code, all kinds of goodies for newbies. From what I've heard, they live up to the "friendly" claim.
Bruce Eckel's [url=http://mindview.net/Books/DownloadSites]Thinking in Java[/url] (Available online.)
Joshua Bloch's [url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/Author=Bloch,%20Josh]Effective Java[/url]
Bert Bates and Kathy Sierra's [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0596004656?v=glance]Head First Java[/url].
James Gosling's [url=http://www.bookpool.com/sm/0321349806]The Java Programming Language[/url]. Gosling is
the creator of Java. It doesn't get much more authoratative than this.

Mac OS X has Java capabilities built right into the operating system itself. You can use the javac and java commands on the terminal shell right away.

It's not built into the OS. It's an external application, just as it is on Windows and Linux. It's just that it comes pre-installed.
