You can order film direct from Kodak or a number of other places. I think direct from Kodak is best, but some few camera stores still stock Super 8 film, and it is also good to support them.

Anyway, your question is a frequent one on this forum. Search for CAT 505 3335, which is the Kodachrome 40 with prepaid processing at a very reasonable price, and you'll find a lot of relevant threads.

Here is a recent one Very new to this

yep, you're right.. the first one is a cart with undeveloped film.. the others are reels with processed film..

you should really look into the "shooting film" section of this website (up there, near the site's banner..) as you'll get a lot of stuff straight that will otherwise take a long time to ask and get answers :) Then if you don't understand something or need further details.. ask :P
