Namesthea Sir,
Are you a citizen or a Green Card (GC) holder? Is your wife in US or outside US?
My answers are based on: YOU ARE A GC HOLDER.
1. Yes, You file I-130.
2. You need to file G-325A for you and another G-325A for your spouse. Forms can be downloaded from here:
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/g-325a.pdf
3. Alien (A) number for you is the one you have in your Green card. Write NONE in A-number for your spouse ( if she has never received A- number from USCIS before)
4. Forms should be mailed to appropriate USCIS. Priority date is current for spouse of Green card holder this August. So, you MIGHT be able to file all forms including I-485 together. we can confirm this together.
5. Better to use Money order instead of check ( you don't have to worry about insufficient funds or if check bounces back by some means). For more info refer this instruction ( I hope you already did):
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-130instr.pdf
I hope these help to start. Let me repeat what I said earlier, if you want to file yourself, you need to explore forums, atleast the one I mentioned in my earlier post.
(IMPORTANT: I am NOT a lawyer, I am a layman like you. These are my personal opinions)
