1. You are going to change your mind about your career a lot. I've changed my mind about 4-8 times from the time I was in the 10th grade to now (college sophomore). Once you get to college and take different classes, you'll start to get an understanding.
2. You don't need a specific position in a club to appeal to a college. More than anything, colleges just want to see that your active in the school/community. You really should just choose clubs that interest you, because colleges just want to see what kind of person you are.
3. Go to khanacademy.org there are thousands of videos to help you with so many subjects!
4. Collegeboard is a good site to find colleges, collegeconfidential also helps you find colleges using your scores, etc. To get references for colleges, you will just need one or two teachers (depending on the college) to write recommendations. So, make sure you make good connections your junior and senior year with teachers!
