3.how do i make it aquarium ready?
4.what are the risks of using it and how do people attach moss and stuff to it?

I think they are the same. Basically both are pieces of wood which had been dead and submerged for a while.
The really nice branchy looking one is probably manzanita wood which can be collected around the midwest.
Pros and cons? Pros well it adds natural character to the tank. Cons some woods can stain your water tea color.

making wood aquarium ready, first step is making sure wood is dead. Then boil it/sand it/ pressure wash it/sand blast it do what ever to get rid of the bark (some wood is fine with bark such as mopani wood)

Attaching moss is simple, just use a cotton thread or a fishing line
 
thanks a bunch BK that looks like it
funny thing is, your tank inspired me to add driftwood to my new tank haha
