Default tax,div,and merger question

Hello David
I have been doing trading (stocks) for last three months. I usually hold the stock for one night. I have many questions
1.At the end of the year how much tax do I have to pay if I make some money in stocks or its depend on my overall expenses.
2. How to get the div. from a company and what would be time period for holding the stock.
3. Let suppose if xyz company merge or buy the abc company, the shares of abc company becomes higher. Can you please give me little information why the shares becomes higher when these kinds of news comes out.

Thank you
