ive heard people talk about there being a Bot you can put on your site and i guess you can choose what you want it to post? like world news or music news and etc....

is there such a thing like that?

Yes, an RSS Feed poster. You can add RSS feeds in the admincp and it will post the feeds.

No, you leave it as is, make sure the URL of the feed is correct.

Also AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > External Data Provider

Set all to yes.

You have to get the RSS link from your browser URL bar. Go to cnn.com and click on the orange and white icon in the browser url bar...that will take you to the proper link to use.
