second, how long the batteries if going online all days staright?
hope that some answer ASAP...thanks

That's an Android phone, right? You can tell if the phone is currently using the internet connection because there is a little icon in the top right with two arrows to indicate usage, beneath a letter indicating the network type.
As for turning the net connection on and off, I'm honestly not sure where this "Use packet data" option is. On my phone it's just "Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Network" to toggle it on and off. There's also a sub menu with settings to disable mobile internet when roaming, and to toggle "always on mobile data" - which basically prevents anything on your phone from connecting to the internet unless you manually tell it to. So you don't need to worry about Facebook or something using up your bandwidth downloading status updates.
As for batteries, online doesn't actually use up that much extra battery, so don't worry about it too much. Though it depends on the type of network and the signal strength. Obviously it depends on the phone too, so I've no idea how long yours lasts.

Hitting home should not exit the program, but you should be able to exit using a back key. There is no need to kill programs, in fact, task killers can create more problems than they solve. Just leave it to the OS.
TIP: hold home button for a couple of seconds to get a list of recently used apps.

You don't ever need to exit a program, Android handles all that by itself. It kills off programs as and when needed, and it's best to just leave it to deal with it the way it wants to. If you really need to stop a program you can find it in the application settings section and use "force Stop", but that shouldn't ever be necessary.
Some programs can be exited by using the back button, some have quit buttons. For those which don't have either, or where it's not really feasible to keep pressing back, just leave it - as said, Android will close them later if necessary.
