Answer 1

You get a number of points equal to the pins you knock down.

A strike gets you 10 points for the 10 pins, and a bonus 10 (20). Plus whatever you score in the next two frames

A spare gives you 10 points, plus whatever points in the next frame.

The last frame has up to 3 rolls, so that you can get the bonus points if you get a strike or spare.

So 10 for the pins, 10 bomus for a strike. And up to 2 more frames of 10, for 40 total. Across 10 frames is 400 max points.
