The basics are:
-Your fretting hand will gradually acquire a "rolling" motion.
-You are sweeping your pick across the strings, not picking each note.
-Pause your picking hand while you hammer on a note unless you are aiming for uneven notes (not common)

I found this video very useful for learning sweeps, Kris Norris' DVDs overall are great if you like his style of playing.

Some people do, some people don't. You can go either way, but if you are comfortable anchoring, there's nothing wrong with it, as long as you don't let it get in your way when you move.

That's always a tough one to explain, there isn't a single right way to do it. I would seek the help of an experience instructor or guitarist on this one.

Then you have a huge problem. If you can't hold a pick in a comfortable way, not only your sweeps but ALL your playing will be affected.

Try changing the position of your fingers a bit, see the Herman Li video posted earlier.
