Default First time puppy owner in need of advice

To start, here is a picture of my baby boy Sammie who is 2 months old http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...p/IMG_0198.jpg. Below are some questions that I have:

1.) Sammie is really scared of shiny bowls. He won't drink or eat out of them. Instead I had to put his water into non shiny bowl, and thankfully he does drink out of it. However, he will only eat if he is hand fed. Is this normal for a yorkie 2 months old?
2.) When should we start potty training him? The previous owner used wee-wee pads and he will usually pee and poop on the pad, or close by it. But sometimes, he will just go in random spots. When should we start enforcing him to always use the wee-wee pad? Is he still too young?
3.) Is it ok to give him a bath (he's 2 months old)? If so, how often?
4.) Sammie eats dry food. It's the Science Diet small bites. How often and how much should we be feeding him?
5.) What type of pet insurance should I get? Either way since genetic illnesses are not covered, I am looking for a basic insurance to cover annual vet vists, vaccines, and flea medication.

Thank you so much for your help.
