Yes you do light candles and say two blessings. These blessings are:
1. Baruch atah adonai eloheinu melech haolam asher kidhashanu bemitzvotav vitzivanuh lehad leek ner Shel (insert Shabbat veshel if it is on Shabbat) Yom Kippurim.
2. Baruch Atah Adonai eloheinu melech haolam, vehichejanu, veki-jemanu, laz man hazeh.

Yes, a yahrtzeit candle is lit on Yom Kippur for the Yizkor - remembrance - service. Yizkor, and yahrtzeits in general, mark the passing of those from our individual lives, as well as all of those murdered in the Holocaust.
Yes
NOTE:You actually light them before Yom Kippur begins, the same way you light Shabbat Candles before sundown.No, Shabbat and all Holy days (Yom Tovs) generally use the same kind of candles.
Memorial candles are lit before Yom Kippur begins; preferably at least 18 minutes before sunset. They may also be lit up to around 1-2 hours earlier.
It's not obligatory. A candle is lit if you will need to transfer fire during Rosh Hashanah. Note that the memorial prayer of Yizkor is not said on Rosh Hashanah.
It's appropriate on the last day.
