Dirr et al. has comprehensive instructions for winter propagation. I have had up to 100% success personally doing this. many commercial growers do all of their productions this way.
December through March cuttings -- Four to six inch long cuttings just below last year's lignified stem (slightly more brown). Bottom heat from 66 to 68F. IBA talc at 1000 ppm. I use a sand/fine white-pumice (Mt. St. Helens) medium. This will work very well under protection. Water sparingly and carefully when (and if needed) during the 8-10 week rooting period.
[Edit: Typos]
There is not a general rule.
Though conifer's don't really propagate from cuttings.
Here's a good reference:

The reference manual for woody plant productions by dirr has a good section on grafting and covers all types of woody plant propagation.

The manual for plant grafting technique also seems good but I do not own it so I'm not 100% on it.
The pods are seed pods. You will want to let it completely ripen on the shrub, it will dry and begin to dehisce (begin to open) at which point seeds would be ready to harvest. Lilac seeds will sprout best after "moist cold stratification" which helps them initiate spring germination. This is botanical speak for "simulated winter." Seeds can be placed in a ziplock bag with a 50:50 mix of coir and vermiculite that is moist but not wet then stored in the fridge for 1-3 months before sowing. Lilac is definitely not a species I would consider an easy candidate for beginning foray into seed propagation, but a lot has been written about it. Perhaps check out Michael Dirr's really comprehensive guide to shrub propagation if your interest level is strong:
