What can you do to get ready for cake decorating at age 14?
Practice! I used to practice making roses with a pastry bag and a mini marshmallow on a toothpick. Best part is, since you're not going to eat the icing, you can put the roses back in the pastry bag and start over. Icing can be made from powdered sugar, lard, and food coloring, or you can buy tubes of icing. Practice writing on a cutting board (you can clean it off and re-use the icing). Cake decorating is a lot of fun, and you can practice making flowers, writing, leaves, vines, all of that with very little cost. You don't have to decorate a cake; practice on a box instead. :)

What is the best icing for a cake?
The most used icing in the American stores is the professional cake decorators icing. The link in my resources has the full recipe as well as a video I created to show exactly how the make the pro icing. This is a recipe that I broke down from an industrial formula used in large manufacturing facilities for bakeries. I have used it for over 20 years. There is no butter in this recipe. The fat base is shortening. High ratio shortening is the best for this as it holds up wonderfully and allows stability. High Ratio Shortening is the preferred shortening over Crisco but you can totally use the Crisco and have really good results. The reason most home based cake decorators use Crisco is because the High Ratio shortening is not available in regular stores. High ratio is only offered through food service and distribution companies that sell to bakeries and larger manufacturing facilities. You can find it however online. There should be a link in the recipe and video on the Professional Cake decorators icing recipe that will tell you where to get it. That is if you are wanting to make it yourself : )

That depends entirely on the cake and many recipes would not using icing at all. You should use chocolate icing and make sure its enough to cover the surfact of the cake.

Can icing sugar be used instead of granulated sugar for baking cake?
Not unless the cake recipe specifically calls for icing sugar. Granulated sugar has a specific weight to measured volume and will provide that specific quantity and sweetness to the cake. Icing sugar has a different weight to volume, different texture and a different level of sweetness. It is important to use the specific ingredient called for in the recipe being followed in order to obtain the proper result.
