Is it true that in order to be hypnotised you have to want to be hypnotised? Or is the other way around? That only people who don't want to be hypnotised can be? I'd love to be hypnotised just to see what it's like...x

I don't know who told you that, but its a myth. Some people are less susceptible and so more difficult to hypnotise. It has nothing to do with will or willpower. The more susceptible you are, the easier you are to hypnotise.
Don't mess about with it because whoever does it to you potentially has a lot of control. If you want to try it go to someone who's accountable for what they do.
Stage hypnotists can make people eat a raw onion and imagine they're eating an apple, so don't be fooled into thinking that self control will help.

No all people CAN be hypnotised, from what I understand, only people that can have a certain level of concentration that can be. So if that is true, than no, you can not get hypotised against your will, because you have to pay attention to the commands/suggestions. I read a book by a famous scientist, that once you are under hypnosis, then you do lose some will power, and is capable of doing things that you do not want to do (I am not sure if ethical things are included in that though).

I'm not sure how it works, but i went to get hypnotised a few years ago to stop smoking and it never worked. I knew everything that was happening and only felt relaxed at no point did i feel under hypnosis!!

Generally, if you've actually been thinking about applying hypnosis to be able to get a grip on the results of talks to your advantage, then you'll possibly have a pastime in what's being shown in Black Ops Hypnosis, an on line program you will find here https://tr.im/rFOOw .
The program, Black Ops Hypnosis consists in 3 principal patterns. The methods from Black Ops Hypnosis are extremely practical and perform very well in reality.
Black Ops Hypnosis is among the most popular hidden and audio hypnosis items and it has distributed effectively to the tens and thousands of copies worldwide.

I heard that a person CANNOT be hypnotised against his will, I don't know if this is true, or not.

You have to want to be or at the very least curious enough to allow it.
Ever zone out while having a really involved daydream then someone's voice or touch snaps you out of it? Then, you've entered a hypnotic state. Hypnosis is an trance-like state of guided daydreaming where your conscious mind is relaxed enough to allow your subconscious to be more accessable.
For more info. check out "wendi.com" or something like that. She has a online hypnosis test.
