you asked too many questions at one time. But I can quickly tell you the basic difference. CDMA is a complete cellular system which was employed for 2G and now for 3G network. CDMA2000 is the version of CDMA system for 3G. WCDMA is the physical layer technology adopted for 3G UMTS system. The difference between CDMA and WCDMA in term of physical layer spreading is that in CDMA system signal is spread upto 1.25 MHz( I am not sure about actual value ) while in WCDMA signal is spread upto 5MHz band. Hence extra "W" meaning "wide" is used and hence called as WCDMA.

WCDMA (Wideband CDMA) descibes a platform that can be convenient for the deployment of 3G. this is because of its spreading bandwidth -5MHz. Technically, their concept of code allocation is the same. tjtobs
