i have copied what is in the code for the form, i was wondering if anybody could tell me if this code can be used or not

Answer 1

HTML forms don't do anything.  You need a form-to-email processing script -- preferably one which conceals your e-mail address from harvesters and has built-in spam prevention.
Contact your web host and ask them if they have a script you can use.  Hosts often provide scripts on their servers which you can activate through your Admin Panel or by directly referencing the script in your form's action attribute.
     <form action="path-to-form-on-server/form-to-email-script.php">
If your host doesn't provide scripts, ask them which server-side languages you can use (php, asp, asp.net, perl, coldfusion, etc...) so you can find a suitable script to use.
