Documents ending with ".pages" are generated by Apple's Pages
application. Those cannot be read on a Windows PC. If you have Pages on
that Mac, you should open those documents and re-save them in some
Windows-compatible format (.doc, .rtf, etc.)

You type the subject in the Subject box.

No, but your mail software may prompt you to enter one.

No, Save means save the email without sending it. Save is found under
the File menu (if you are using Apple Mail).

That "up-pointing arrow" is an eject icon. Clicking on that dismounts
the drive. To get the drive mounted again, remove the flashdrive
physically from the socket and plug it back in.

Yes, see above.

No, you can drag files to the drive icon. Double-click on the drive to
open up a Finder window showing you what is on the drive. You should
see the files you have dragged onto the drive.
