It depends on the reason for the subpoena. If you were a witness to an incident you must do as directed and answer any questions truthfully. If you don't appear you can find yourself in a lot more trouble.

Exactly what it means depends on the content of the subpoena. In general terms, a subpoena is a court order to produce evidence, which can include testimony. If the subpoena commands you to appear and testify in court, then you must do so or you can be arrested for contempt of court.
There is no statutory timeframe but subpoenas are usually issued far enough in advance of the trial or hearing to ensure that they get served in time for the person to respond.
The sentence is not grammatically correct. It should be written as "Can you have the sheriff serve the subpoena?"
To stop a subpoena, the person must obtain a subpoena motion form from the courthouse. The form must be filled out with the reason the subpoena should be quashed. The motion should be filed with the clerk's office and a copy should be sent to the plaintiff's attorney by certified mail.
No. In NYS check Civil Practice Law & Rules for specifics. With certain subpoena you are entitled to receive a check for travel expense at a certain rate per mile for the distance to and from your location and the location to which you are being summoned.

Subpoena is a noun (a subpoena) and a verb (to subpoena).
The subpoena should have contained all the necessary information on when and where to report and/or any other necessary information. Read it, or contact the Clerk of the Court or the attorney which issued the subpoena.
No, "sheriff" should not be capitalized unless it precedes the name of the specific sheriff ("Sheriff Johnson served us with a subpoena").
