Go two frets up in scale (this puts you on the 5th fret on the 5th string (A) form a barre across strings 4(D)-2(B) on the 7th fret with your pinky or ring finger. That's D Major you don't play the 6th and 1st strings. C Major is exactly the same shape only two frets lower so go two frets higher than the capo (this is the 5th fret again) and you can either form a barre or press down on strings 4-2.

What fret do you play a Bm?

There are multiple ways to play every chord on guitar. Additionally, using a capo changes which fret you play the chord in as well. If you are not using a capo, and just want one way to play the Bm chord, here is a link to a diagram: http://guitar.about.com/library/weekly/aa112100d.htm Notice you bar the second fret by putting you're index finger on the five thinnest strings. You put your second finger on the second string in the third fret. The second string is the second thinnest string. Then you use your third and fourth fingers in the forth fret to push down the third and fourth strings.

What chord is a standard D equivalent to when a capo is used on the third fret?

It's the same as B Major when the guitar is open, go two frets up in scale on the 5th (A) string (with the capo this puts you on the 5th fret) and form a barre with your pinky or ring finger on the 7th fret across the fourth through 2nd strings (you can barre the 1st string too as long as you don't play it, 6th string isn't played either.) There are other configurations but this seems like the best configuration in the area of the capo area itself. Alternatively you could barre a traditional D Major chord shape at the tenth fret but that might sound too chimy for you.

What key is a c add9 chord in with a capo on the seventh fret?

Te capo does not change the location of the chords, it only places the open strings at where you place the capo, in your position, the open strings are at the 7th fret. The capo is only ever useful if you have difficulty playing full chords and you only need to change a few during a performance or if you require the open strings at a more convenient position for doing leads for songs played in a certain chord, where the open strings are used often.
