You just point the binoculars skyward. But you need a very steady hand for this.
You can see down to magnitude 6 with "naked eye" astronomy.
Binoculars take you to about magnitude 9.
That means you can see a lot more stars, nebulae and so on.

Yes they do. The important feature is diameter of the front lenses, these collect more light than you can get in through the unaided pupil of your eye. Therefore binoculars gather more information about what you are looking at than your eye can and you can see things with them that the unaided eye can not see. To test this go out on a clear night and point your binoculars at the sky, they will show you stars that you can not see without them. However, this light gathering power means you MUST NEVER try and look at the Sun though binoculars, if yo do so you will immediately be blinded.
It can't be seen at the moment from earth as it is on the opposite side of our solar system. It is where the sun is. Give it a few month though and we will be able to see it again as the earth progresses around the sun.
Venus is visible in the night-sky for the same reason we see the moon - Sunlight is reflected off the surface.
When you use a telescope or binoculars. Jupiter has moons which are often easily visible in binoculars.
If you are in the UK just look to the east of your location on any clear evening over the next two weeks, at about 10 degrees above the horizon, and the bright stationary object in the dark sky is the planet Jupiter, and with a decent pair of binoculars you can even see the four Galilean moons in orbit around Jupiter.
Some are very close to earth, and others are much farther away. This is why only some ranges of binoculars can see farther into the night sky than other, ordinary, binoculars.

Binoculars are the best way for an amateur to start studying the sky at night. When you are on a high place with a wide view over a landscape, having a pair of binoculars is great.
In the night sky, you can see stars, planets, the Moon, constellations, and sometimes satellites or shooting stars. These objects appear as points of light against the dark backdrop of space and can be observed with the naked eye or with the help of telescopes or binoculars.

In the sky at night
The constellation lupus appears in the southern sky. You can see it at night.
Yes, the Andromeda galaxy is visible to the naked eye from a dark location. It appears as a faint, smudged patch in the sky and is best observed in the fall or winter months in the northern hemisphere. Using binoculars or a telescope can enhance the view of the galaxy.
In order to see Saturn, you need to know where to look, and when to look. Once you have that information, go outside, look in the sky, and you'll see it easily with your eyes ... it's often one of the brightest objects in the night sky. When you've found it, you can point your binoculars or your telescope at it for a more detailed view.
Under the correct conditions it may be possible to see the Andromeda Galaxy. Although, it does appear very feint in the night sky, it would appear roughly twice the size of the Moon if it were bright enough to be seen edge-to-edge. Its central bulge could be viewed if using a telescope or a good pair of binoculars.
