  2. Yes you can learn selenium IDE, Its just as an add-on on the firefox browser, using which you can record your tests and play them when required. The limitation of IDE is it can only be used on firefox.

    If you are looking to test on multiple browsers, you need Selenium Grid or WebDriver, which requires a knowledge of java. And again you are not needed to be a Java pro to do this, a simple learning will help.

    You can search the youtube.com for Selenium Tutorials(Also Java tutorials) , They will answer all your doubts.

    Hope this helps.
