If my pawn gets to the opponents end of the gameboard then I get to choose a piece to bring back into the game right? And when that happens, do I put it back in it's original spot or do I leave it where my pawn reached the other side? ( I hope this makes sense....lol)

Just leave it where it is.

No, It is not a matter of bringing a previously-captured piece back into the game. You are simply gaining a new Q R B or N as reinforcements for your army. You could in theory have as many as 9 queens.
(In the 1927 World Championship match between Alekhine and Capablanca, one of the games involved both sides having two queens.)
AND
The newly promoted piece replaces the pawn on the square to which the pawn had advanced in reaching the 8th rank
Think about it. If it was the case that the promoted piece went to the square from which pieces of that kind start out
(a) that square might be occupied
(b) except for the queen, there would be a choice: for white rooks a1 and h1, for white knights b1 and g1. for white bishops c1 and f1. On what basis would one select one of these rather than the other?
It would get needlessly complicated if that were the rule! The one square that you can be 100% certain has no other peice on it is the square to which the pawn has just advanced !
The FIDE Laws of Chess state:
"Article 3.7 e
When a pawn reaches the rank furthest from its starting position it must be exchanged as part of the same move for a new queen, rook, bishop or knight of the same colour. The player`s choice is not restricted to pieces that have been captured previously. This exchange of a pawn for another piece is called `promotion` and the effect of the new piece is immediate."

You place the new piece on the same square where your pawn reached the end of the board. It is important to note however, that your selection of a piece to put on that square is NOT restricted to those that have been captured already. For example, if you promote a pawn while you still have your queen, you may get a second queen. If your set doesn't include one, you may use an upside down rook or a pawn on its side to represent the new queen.
Hope this helps!

When your pawn reaches the other side, you place any piece you desired (pawn and kings are the exceptions) piece in place of where your pawn reached the end. This is called promotion. The promotion is open to all pieces, not neccessarily the pieces taken by your opponent. You can have two queens if you want. >:)

I would like to play with your opponent.
WHY? Well if you got to promote a pawn and don't know the rules of promotion, then it seems to me your opponent is a pushover ;-) ;-) ;-).
You may promote a pawn to any piece you wish , including a queen. It is placed on the board where the pawn was.
SO, you can understand that by promoting a pawn (or whatever) to a piece that is most beneficial, you can at the same time have a Checkmate, (get it?)
;-)

Correct. When your pawn reaches the complete other end of the board you can bring back ANY game piece that was taken. When you bring back the new piece it will go in the same place the pawn was when you swapped it out.

When your pawn reaches the 8th rank (white) or the 1st rank (black), don't refer to it as a pawn (>_<) anymore [when the pawn reaches the 5th/4th rank it is considered a piece] and select what piece you want it to be (available: knight, rook, bishop, queen). The piece stays on the promoting square ^_^.

I'm pretty sure you leave the pawn where it is and continue the game, but that's just what I do.

You must place the piece where your pawn reached the other side.

you leave it where the pawn is. Also you can get two pawns and both can be the same piece.
