It is usually written just to the right of the note. A sharp means to raise one half step and flat means to lower one half step.

What does it mean when a sharp and a flat are in front of the same note?

Offhand, I would say that is a misprint. However, a natural and flat means to return to a normal flat note after a double-flat. For example, suppose you are in a key with B-flat in the key signature, but you have an E-flat diminished chord, which includes B-double-flat. After that you have a regular B-flat. The natural cancels the double-flat, and the single flat returns to the usual note. After a double-sharp, a natural and sharp would do the same thing.


By how much does a sharp or flat alter as a note?

No. On a certain note with both a sharp and flat, (G, for example) they are the same distance from G, but going in diferent directions. G sharp raises the note by one half step while G flat lowers the note by one half step. However, it is possible for a sharp note to mean the same note as a flat note. For example, G sharp is the same note as A flat. This is called being enharmonic.
