The TONE function on the Arduino generates a square wave on the specified pin based on the parameters specified. In other words, it quickly turns the pin on and off at the frequency specified. The syntax is:
Tone(p,f,d)
where p = the pin, f = the frequency in hertz (number of times per second) and d = duration to sound the tone in milliseconds (thousandths of a second). So, if you want to play the note middle C (about 260 hertz) for two seconds on pin 3 you would call:
Tone(3,260,2000)
In terms of hardware, you would need to connect a small speaker to the Arduino pin, one connection to the output pin (3 in our example) and the other speaker connection to ground (GND).

A shield is essentially a "daughterboard" of a PCB that has pins to match the female pin headers on a standard format Arduino board. You build your circuits/connections of sensors (switches, light, sound, temperature sensors, etc.) and outputs (LED's, displays, etc.) on a shield as an efficient way to mate the inputs/output connections to an Arduino board. A shield is not required but is highly advised as a way to insure solid connections and organization of connections. For more information see:
Yes it is possible to make an Electronic Pest Repellent using Arduino and possible to make ultrasound for 30khz to 200khz frequency; you must make a rectangle signal with a frequency and amplify it with transistors.

You cannot. The function f(x) = x2 + 1 has no real zeros. But it does have a minimum.
Have the Arduino control a relay that connects an external power source to the motor.
Generally I would recommend an "official" Arduino Uno as it is most likely to be completely compatible with the sketch (program) and you know it will work out of the box (compared to an Arduino clone/kit that you assemble). See Related Links for the official Arduino website as well as links to some resellers of the official Arduino Uno.
An Arduino is a microprocessor and circuit board that has been designed to make getting into working with microprocessors extremely easy. The Arduino project is open source to anyone can develop for it and there is a free tool that can be used to program the board.
No, Arduino is AVR. Not ARM.
There isn't any "control" of the ground pin - it is just that - the connection to the common ground. If you mean "How can you make a pin on Arduino go to LOW" (which is the same a zero volts of ground), use the pinMode() function to set a pin to OUTPUT and then issue a digitalWrite() command to that pin setting it to LOW
