Both, but I would start with the module's docs, first.

Sometimes there is, but I think that is largely up to the module's author.  
Where you would see it is on the module's page, under the Resources section, 
labeled "Read documentation".  See Img_assist's module page for a relevant 
example: http://drupal.org/project/img_assist

The only ways that I know of, are asking on this mail list, searching and 
asking on drupal.org's forums, searching on the Internet in general (least 
likely, IMO), or just installing it into a scratch system for testing.
