Before you proceed, I would suggest reading an introductory econometric
textbook on panel data analysis - these issues should be covered there. And
how about using the Stata help command or the manuals? Nonetheless, my quick
(but not complete) answers for some Stata commands are written below.

If the null hypothesis is rejected, you may conclude that the fixed effect
model is better than the pooled OLS model.
For your second question see the help file (and/or manual )for:

There is no single Stata command, rather quite a few mainly dependent on if
you have a balanced or unbalanced panel. Except for the classical graphical
regression analysis approaches, see for instance the help files (and/or the
manual) for:
regress postestimation
