I don't know much about MACs, but I would be surprised if it does not have a wireless interface built in. Take it somewhere that has Wi-Fi and see if it wakes up.
It probably also has a socket that looks like it is for a wide telephone plug, that would be for a wired network.
If you want to do it at home, you need a network (dialup, DSL or Cable) and if you want to go wireless, you need a wireless router.
The network service will cost you monthly fees, faster networks are more expensive.

Yes of course you can. Go to a computer store and have a wireless card installed, That is the most convenient, but it can be pricey. If you have budget constraints, just get a regular phone connection. Nothing to it.

Yes you can and yes you need a phone line for dial up or DSL connection or you can have a cable connection. Call your local phone company or Cable network and ask them of their services and prices Also you can go to yahoo search and look for ISP's (Internet Service Providers) in your area and take it from there.

and get a free account and then just hook a phone line into the adapter. (wow thats a mouth full.)
