1) there is a metal retaining spring. i think you push it in (push just above where the bulb is) , then to the right or left, then it swings out.
2) not 100% sure, but i would have to guess under the dash somewhere (driver's side)
3) just pull upwards.

OBD II is located on the driver's side under the dash where you have a little storage(?) place.

The port should have a little cover on it that just pops off so you can plug in.
