At the FreePascal Wiki you will find a tutorial on how to use Lazarus. You can read it in several different languages.
You can also see this Developing a GUI Application tutorial.

Simply add the second form, and then in the button handler do a
secondform.showmodal;
Don't forget to add the unit where "Secondform" is in to the uses clauses of the first unit.

You don't link back. You simply set modalresult, and the 2nd form will disappear, and the showmodal call will return with the modalresult. Typicaly modalresult values are mrok and mrcancel to signal success or failure
