A kiddish cup is a cup used for prayers. These cups aren't used as a regular drinking cup, only during services.

It's not technically required; an ordinary cup may be used; but yes, it is customary to use a silver goblet in order to beautify the Kiddush (blessing over wine).

Do orthodox Jews eat kiddush?

"Kiddush" is not a foodstuff, it is an action. The word literally means "hallowing". Orthodox Jews perform Kiddush when Shabbat begins (Friday evening), which involves the blessing of candles, wine, bread, and God's love for the Jewish people. Following that they drink some of the blessed wine and blessed bread and this leads into a Shabbat meal that takes up much of the rest of the night.

Why you drink?

Kiddush is not a drink. Kiddush is a ritual and more specifically a pair of blessings that are said over bread and wine at the end of the Sabbath and festival evening and morning services, and also said at the start of the Sabbath and Festival evening and morning meals. (If you're having the meal in the synagogue, you say Kiddush just once after the service and to start of the meal.) The blessings, along with the consumption of bread and wine, are part of the liturgy. Why? A common explanation is that nobody should leave the divine service with an empty stomach.

What do Jewish people do after a bar mitzvah?

Most bar mitzvahs are celebrated at a Saturday morning synagogue service. After the service, there is frequently a kiddush luncheon -- that is, a luncheon that begins with the kiddush blessing over bread and wine. Later, that evening, it is common (but not universal) to have a bar mitzvah party starting with Havdalah, the blessing marking the end of the Sabbath day.
