Answer 1

MIB files are created in a simple text editor (following the rules for SMIv2). Then you'll need to turn it into code, modify the code to suit your data, compile it into an agent and run the agent. Then you can use a management application to request the data from the agent.

Net-SNMP is the most popular linux stack for linux, so you might start with it's tutorials at http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial/
