2. When will I know if i was successful and will receive bitcoins?

You are doing fine.  With this hash rate you can expect about 0.008 BTC per day.  You need to check your electricity cost and factor that in.  Check your pool rules in regard to minimum payout and time to payout.

Cheers

elapsed
time your miners been running since last restart
ghs
speed your miners running at
foundblocks
how many blocks your miner has found (unlikely to change for along time but if the pool deams you found a block then it will change)
getworks
how many getworks your miners sent to the pool for more work (in the name really)
accepted
how many jobs or "shares" your miner has accepted and completed
rejected
how many jobs or "shares" your miner has rejected for various reasons such as to long to respond or miner already busy
HW
this happens when your miner has a little glitch durning a job and results in an error (1% is very good anything higher is bad anything lower is excellent)
utility
not a fecking clue :(
Stale
have been in your miner que so long the solutions already been found
local work
no idea
wu
no idea
diffa
network difficulty
diffr
looks like difficulty for the miner
best share
probably the best share your miners found for the best reward or quickest time

your miner looks fine but theres something really wrong with the amount of discarded work looks like its going to be a bandwidth problem or changing and restarting the miner a few times quickly just keep an eye on it

wrong about discarded. the line means nothing .  as per the writer of the software.  ckolivas he has posted numerous times to disregard the  discarded info.

rest of the info you gave is good.

                   yeah I also wondered why but I figure if I can't trust ckolivas about his own software I should not be mining.


and your short version is solid.
