1, is not need a mac machine, there is of course the best, no windows in a virtual machine can be temporarily installed mac osx cope
2, Apple's developer tools xcode and SDK is free, of course, you want to register click on the Apple Web site to download, just like you, like visiting the forum, register it.
3, xcode comes with a simulator, you can actually debug software. If you want your software release to the Apple store to sell, you have to be real machine debugging

When you want to use a real machine debugging, Apple would like to pay $ 99/year fee, or you can branch of the program in the simulator.
