1. Between your chin and nose...depending on your ability that may go several inches either way. A beginning type skier will want a shorter board for easier control, while a more advanced skier will want a slightly longer board for stability at speed.
2. If you are a novice skier go to a good ski shop, they can get you started.
3. These days, you always use your weight to determine ski length. I am 5'-8" tall and 170 lbs, and i ski fairly aggressively, so i use a 174. To determine the best length for yourself, visit the website of your skis' manufacturer. Almost all will have a sizing chart that is based on your ability, the terrain you ski, your weight, and the type of ski you are using.
