Your worries are literally adorable! I will do my best to help easy your frying woes!
You can fry in a cast iron skillet, but if you have a heavy bottomed stock pot or something even heavier like a dutch oven, that will help with heat distribution and reduce splatter.
Peanut oil and coconut oil are both great for frying, but most fats other than olive oil and butter will work. soybean/vegetable/canola are ok, but not as healthy as coconut oil.
Oil is ready when you throw something in and it bubbles/sizzles. You can test this with a few drops of water, but I generally will take a little scrap of the "breading" or cheese or whatever I'm frying and toss it in every few minutes until it seems hot. You can use the back of a wooden spoon and if bubbles collect around the spoon its ready.
To reduce splatter you can buy grease splatter shields which are basically flat strainers. I think it's a waste of space/money. I'd spend your money on a special spatula for removing things once they are done.
Good luck and may all your future frying endeavors be delicious and successful!
