Even if two years old it *could* be 64-bit. Do you have the make and
model? Did you try searching (with http://www.google.com/) using the
make and model number as search terms?

This is the 'live' CD. It is a standalone version of the system that
can be booted from the CD. It is NOT an installer disk.

There are 7 CDs, that together contain the *complete* O/S. For most
installs you don't need ALL 7, but other than a bare minimualist system
you will need several. The whole O/S is on the *one* DVD. If you have
a fast internet connection (and your network card is supported), you
could download the 'net install' CD and install over the network.
