I'll answer your questions exactly as you have asked them being a veteran Diablo 2 player (and yes, the expansion also).
1. Is there a bank to put items in?
Yes.. it's available in every town in every "act" (the game is broken into 5 acts where you have several 'missions' to get through in order to get to the next act) and it's always the same. It'll hold quite a few items and it's free to access any time you'd like.
2. What is the fighting like?
It's a top (third person) perspective game with a click to fight interface. Basically you point at a bad guy and click either right or left mouse buttons. You can customize what the mouse buttons do based on what skills you've learned (such as casting a fireball, or just running up and popping them with your weapon, etc). It's a super-simple interface and shouldn't be hard to learn.
3. Are there lots of clothes and weapons and other items?
Literally thousands... all of the above fall off of monsters as you kill them, can be found in chests, even hidden under things you find along the way. Also it's random every time you play so you'll never see the same thing twice.
4. They have weak swords and strong swords and stluff like that with bows?
Yes.. there are varying degrees of 'power' for swords and other weapons. You may only be able to use the more powerful weapons you find after you've achieved a certain level of experience and statistic (I.E. heavy armor will require more strength than lighter armor, etc) so bear that in mind as you spend your training points to increase your stats!
5. Are there a lot of people that play online?
That depends on the time of day. Right now online play (for the Eastern US) is very laggy at night because probably TOO many people play online.. it's aggravating at times. But yes, the numbers of people that play are well into the thousands at any given time.
6. Do you think you have to beat the games before you play online?
No, you don't have to beat it before you play online. But the character you use for the single player game isn't the one you use for the online one. The Battle.net character you create is maintained online and you can only level them up while you play online. The single player character can be played online but is played in what's called "closed battle.net" where you're not able to access the same game servers as the other. THere's no difference, whatsoever, in the online vs. offline game with the exception of 'special events' that happen from time to time.
7. It is a lot like Runescape? And How different is it?
Runescape is a clunky interface with very limited options and ridiculous skills that you level up for no reason along with very (very very) dated graphics, etc.
Diablo 2 is based completely on combat and action, has decent enough graphics (also dated, but not nearly the same degree) and the game play is fast and furious. If you find the right group to play with online you can powerlevel very very quickly or you can take your time and learn every nook and cranny as your play style requires.
All in all the whole $20 you'll spend at Walmart for the "Diablo Warchest" is a bargain.. it has the original Diablo game, Diablo 2, and the expansion all in the same pack along with a big book to read on how to be good at the game.
It's much much better than Runescape.

You don't have a bank to put your items in per se, but you do have a chest that you can store items in, and in act 2, you can get the Horadic cube that you can use to store addition items.
There's no easy way to describe the fighting because each class have different means of attacks. The sorceress uses magic, the amazon uses bow & arrow or javelin, the assassin uses traps or martial arts, the barbarian and paladin uses melee attacks, but the paladin can use magic (magic hammer) for attacks, the necromancer uses the dead or bone spears/bone spirits for attacks, and the druid uses bears or wolves for attacks. Druid can also transform into a werewolf for melee attacks. He can also summon meteor or tornadoes to do damage.
There are lots of weapons, armors, belts, helmets, shields, rings, necklace, and gloves to name, but they're just variations of each other. There are also set items that can be collected, and if they're worn at the same time, you get additional bonuses, such as extra strength, extra life, extra skills, etc.
There are lots of people who play online.
Personally, I don't think you should play single player offline at all because the closed battle.net offers many things that you can't get on single player. Also consider playing in a ladder game because you can do and get a lot more things that you can get on non-ladder games.
Go to www.battle.net and click on Diablo if you want to learn more about the ladder and non-ladder games.

EVE online
The Minmatars are the most numerous of all the races in the world of EVE, but their vast numbers are divided into many factions. While the Minmatar Republic is the official state, only a quarter of all Minmatars are part of it. The largest proportion, almost a third, are enslaved within the huge Amarr Empire, while a fifth resides within the Gallente Federation, creating a powerful political bloc which keeps relations between the Gallenteans and the Amarrians in a constant state of tension. The remainder, who are not part of any formal organization, live as freemen throughout the world. Many are itinerant labourers, roaming from one system to another in search for work. A fair number make their living on the darker side of the law, acting as pirates, smugglers and peddlers in all kinds of illegal goods, and many of the larger criminal groups in the world of EVE are run by Minmatars.
