Answer 1

THere are three types of "written" Japanese.

Hiragana are the original Japanese characters according to the syllables
Katakana originated from WWII, when the American soilders came to Japan and bought the western culture in. For example, shirt isn't a Japanese word, but they use the Western pronounciation to say it, but different characters to distinguish the words. So if you want your name to be in Japaneese... it would be in Katakana
Lastly, Kanji is the same as Hiragana but there are less characters to write / per word but they have adapted it from the Chinese culture and use the same characters for their own.

Answer 2

I think this should have all you need...

Just click on the 'Begin the hiragana tutor' or katakana / kanji, then click on what you want to see...!

They show you the brush strokes...!

As for Summer's Japanese classes - maybe she should tell everyone where it is, so that everyone can avoid it! Fancy telling students that kanji is the same as hiragana...!!!
Outrageous!!

(I'll answer your other question with this link too, because I don't think much of the link you've already been given. This one shows the brush strokes - but I must point out that handwriting is a very personal thing, and everybody does it differently! Sometimes my husband writes a kana and I say "what the heck's THAT??" ... it turns out to be something quite harmless, last time it was a に！ But it sure as hell didn't LOOK like one...!)
