Not really a spoiler to answer to that I think but I'll code anyway:
Because I'd heard that George R. R. Martin is writing an episode for next season titled "Blackwater", which suggests (to those that have read that book, obviously) that season two will comprise book two.
I had heard GRRM suggest that book three would be best split into two seasons, though.

Second book picks up pretty much where the first book left off. I think some time's passed... but not a lot.
Where'd you hear that?

I dont think we have answers to those questions. We're as much in the dark as you are.
Well, there is one question that can be answered:
IIRC, he's only written one episode of the series. Though if your referring to the books, its all of them.
The only thing that's confirmed is it'll have a second season.
But, assuming the series isn't cancelled and assuming it adapts all seven novels (two of which haven't been written yet), you'd be looking at a minimum of seven seasons. Which is kind of long by HBO drama standards, the HBO dramas that don't get cancelled tend to go for the five/six season range.
As indicated, though, a case can be made for splitting the third book into two seasons, so it could be somewhere upwards from eight seasons...
Though I can't really wrap my head around HBO having such a long running drama series. But then again, who knows?
Nope. He writes one episode a season - this season it was episode eight, "The Pointy End" - and that's it. David Beinoff and D.B. Weiss are the actual showrunners for the TV program and are doing the hard work there (and a good job, truthfully).
No idea. There's no plans to cast any LOTR alumni for season two that's been announced, and obviously, Sean Bean will not be reprising his role as Ned Stark.
Of course, not all major roles for season two have been cast yet anyway. So who knows.
It seems pretty likely we'll have a pretty consistent use of Northern Irish talent, though, which is nice.
Not sure what happened to the other threads, but here's more Season 2 alludements, about cast coming over from Camelot. God I hope it isn't Joseph Fiennes.

I chose to believe this means Eva Green is Melisandre.
I hope not. Not that she is bad by any means, but surely there is a bigger pool of actors available than ones that just had similar roles. I also want someone more exotic as Melisandre. She is from Asshai (the equivalent of the far east), not Westeros.
Or James Purefroy as Mance Rayder.
