When you sign with a modeling agency, they will be responsible for training you at no cost. They will teach you the proper posture, how to walk and how to carry yourself on a catwalk.
In modeling, you need to be able to count and know angles. Counting is one of the most important things in modeling. You have to count your steps when you walk the runway. There are different walks in modeling and you need to be able to know what angle you are walking and/or turning.
Runway models do not need schooling or specific course training. Modeling agencies that represent runway models train their models for free and help them develop their runway walk.
You don't "go" anywhere. You send in your pictures and information to modeling agencies that represent runway models and hope to get a modeling contract. You can also attend open casting calls where you can interview with an agency without the need for an appointment.

Yes. This is mainly the case for runway/fashion models. If you hope to be on the catwalk, you must know how to do a runway walk. Print models and other fields outside of the fashion/runway world do not necessarily need to master the walk since they typically are not on catwalks in shows but knowing how to walk is always an advantage, regardless of what kind of modeling you do.
There are no degrees involved in modeling. You do not need any formal education or classes. Modeling agencies train their new models for free.
You do not need to go to school for modeling or take any kind of classes. When you sign with a modeling agency they will train you for free and begin getting you work.
Absolutely NONE! Certainly if you are tall enough and intend to be doing runway work - it is helpful to take a workshop to learn how to work the catwalk - but you don't need to attend a so-called "modeling school." Do keep in mind that a commercial model needs to be able to act. Acting lessons or workshops can be very helpful in teaching you how to express emotions in front of the camera.
In general, it is helpful to live within a large modeling market area (i.e. Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Paris, Milan, London, etc.). These markets are known for high fashion and runway modeling. If you don't live in any of these areas, you can still look into local modeling agencies in your town--within a 2 hour's drive from where you live is ideal. But if your town doesn't have any modeling agencies at all, then it will be more difficult to pursue modeling as a career.
