Q1: I use Paint.net to make images/graphics for cards. Its a free program to download and pretty easy to learn how to use.
Q2: I suggest a print on demand company like SuperiorPOD or thegamecrafter. Both have excellent quality and you can print front and back. Thegamecrafter is easier to use but costs a little more. The cards are standard playing cardsize.

Here is how I would do it:
1: Put all of the questions and answers into a Excel document: questions in one column, answers in the next.

4: Output a pdf to send to one of the POD card printers.
Good luck!
