In order to restore a database you need a full database backup as a starting point.
You will have differential backups and transaction log backups if you have plan to have it in your backup strategy.

In order to perform a point in time restore the sequence will be:

Restore last full db backup with norecovery option.
Restore diff backup with norecovery option.
Restore all your t-logs backup with norecovery options except the last one.

Please refer to BOL on "restore database".

I don't clearly understand what you mean by your second question.
