In Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead, the Doctor first meets her, and she meets him for the last time - she has to sacrifice herself to save the Doctor and save the rest of the people on the library planet, by wiring herself up to a data transference machine and hardwiring her being into the mainframe, thus dying. It's a series 4 two-parter, if you're wondering, so it's easily accessible.
No it was the Teselecta and the doctor and his TARDIS were inside, driving it.
River Song first appeared in 2008, when David Tennant was still playing the Doctor. The first time we saw River Song was when she died. River and the Doctor are moving in opposite directions in time, so as we, the viewers, move forward with the Doctor, we are seeing River Song's past.
River Song is played by Alex Kingston.
