I looked at your succulents and I recognize of them (I own two of them!) but names aren't jumping out at me right this minute.

Your questions:

1. Soil: my favorite is Miracle Gro Cactus, Palm and Citrus with a couple hand fulls of perlite mixed in. So if I bought an 8 qt. bag of each, I would add about 3 parts soil and 1 part perlite.

2. Watering depends upon the plant, the pot size, the growing medium.... If the leaves feel soft, water, if they feel hard, don't. For succulents and cactus, less water is better than too much.

3. Lots! But when you buy a new plant, chances are good they were grown in a greenhouse or under shade cloth. Acclimate your plants slowly to whatever their new growing conditions will be. Most succulents do well with very bright indirect light and a little sun.
