It can mean a few things. In most christian fanatics, it means evil evil people who sacrifice animals, that is not completely true. There are normally two general sides to Satanism. There is the left hand path, or Anton LeVay Satanism, which are Atheists who believe in Satan as a philosophical ideal, that he is not in fact a supernatural being.
Then there is the Right hand path, known as "Theistic Satanism" or "Traditional Satanism" these are the Satanists that believe in Satan as a deity. Normally the Right hand path is what the media sees as the crazy cultists who kill in the name of Satan, they do not infact. Sure, there are individuals out there who do crazy things for satan. But that is not what Theistic Satanism is based around.
Both paths may follow the belief in Wicca and other Magic.

No. Satanism was codified by Anton Szandor LaVey in 1966 when he founded the Church of Satan and later wrote The Satanic Bible. Before 1966 the word Satanism was popularly associated with the worshipping of the Christian Devil. But if you think about it, if one worships a Christian deity then one is a Christian because believes in the existence of its deities. In the end it's just worshipping the wrong god. Satanism is a religion based on the Hebrew meaning of Satan which means the accuser, the adversary, where the Satanist doesn't believe in the existence of a Satan deity, instead the Satanist believes he is his own god.
There are no solid links to Satanism and heavy metal, heavy metal artists use Satanism insignias to get publicly.
There are no miracles of Satanism, if anything, you create your own miracles through your own will.
