Clock ignorant questions

I have never played with a clock but I am not opposed to it either. However I do have a few questions. I plan on playing at the NYC ABT so it might be helpful to understand .........

1) Can you take a timeout in the middle of a game? If so, what are the clock "mechanics" to do this? 2) Related to question 1, can you stop the clock to write down a position or take a picture of a position for future study? 3) When matches are clocked, are there a fixed number of "breaks"? If so, can you take the break in the middle of a game or only between games? 4) Assuming the standard is 12 seconds per move and 2 minutes per point, is time added back to your total remaining time if you take less than 12 seconds to make a move?
