The Buddha's first pupils were ascetics whom he originally studied under.

Siddhartha Gautama is Buddha. He is also known as "The Enlightened One".
Buddha's intent was to end suffering. This was to be done by understanding at suffering is caused by desire and that it can be eliminated by controlling desire.
Hinduism and the Buddha's teachings have many things in common, as the Buddha lived in a Hindu culture. One of the most prominent examples is a belief in kamma/karma and reincarnation.
An Arahant (or Arahat as it is more commonly known) is someone who has become enlightened, but through the help of someone else, i.e. they could not achieve enlightenment on their own. For example, after the Buddha first became enlightened, he taught the five ascetics that followed him about how he himself had become enlightened, and after hearing these teachings, the ascetics in turn became enlightened, but they had not done so through their own meditation etc.
The end goal for Buddha to reach is enlightenment, or Nirvana. This is a state of liberation from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, and represents the ultimate goal of spiritual practice in Buddhism.
