What do guitar preamps do?

A guitar preamp is basically a guitar amplifier, but without the power amplifier section that drives the speaker. A typical guitar amplifier consists of two components: the preamp and the power amp. The preamp is responsible for generating most of the characteristics of the guitar tone. The power amp receives the output signal from the preamp, then raises it's level enough to drive a speaker so the guitar becomes audible. Physically, a guitar preamp can be an independent rack-mountable unit, a digital device (such as a Line6 POD), a floor pedal, or even circuitry inside the guitar itself.

Can you play a guitar through a computer?

You could get a cheap jack adapter from an electronics store like radio shack, and plug directly into your computer via the line-in or microphone (louder) jack. This would be converting stereo grade sound to mono, so sound quality would be lost; also being that an amplifier's sound processing is tailored for guitar, whereas the computer's is not. Unless you have a preamp to run your guitar to, then run your preamp to your computer, there will be sound quality loss, and possible fluctuation in volume levels, but if you just want to jam out, it works. The cool thing is, you can get some sound effect programs from the internet for free that can simulate guitar pedals.

How do you balance surround sound speakers?

Usually you wouldn't need to but if you wanted to offset it from balanced or if your connection has a stronger signal in one channel than the other you can connect a preamp or an amplifier with balance control and audio inputs as well as out puts to the system. You would connect the wires going in to the surround system into the input of the preamp and then connect the output of the preamp into the input of the surround system. CAUTION do not turn the preamp volume up to high or you risk blowing the surround system.

How do you connect a stereo RCA phono cable from your turntable to a 3.5 mm line in can this even be done?

A 3.5 mm input is a line level signal, and a turntable has a phono level signal. You can connect these, but you will need a phono preamp to go in between the two. An RCA cable plugs into to the preamp from the turntable, and an RCA to 3.5mm cable connects the preamp to the stereo.
