Hello leekk8,

The features that you mentioned above is provided by most of the popular registrar e.g GoDaddy, NameCheap etc. You can read in their FAQ about how to use url forwarding. Well, as I know, mainly url forwarding is to forward the domain name like abc.com to your other domain name or subdomain which could be hosted under Geocities or else. My advice, read their information, FAQ and email them about these services if you unsure whether you need it or not.

The WHOIS info for the domain depends on what you include and register on the domains. If you dont want your name and your email be listed on the whois, mybe you should look for whois-protection that nowdays many registrar offer for free or with a tiny fee.

The 2nd question mybe other members can help to answer it.
