Yes, it is 64 bit. Version is a matter of taste. I suggest to start with Ubuntu 12.04.
It depends on the amount of Ram. If you have 1Gb or less I would recommend you to stick with xubuntu or lubuntu. If you have more than 1Gb, then definitely stick with Ubuntu.

Again, depends on the amount of ram, and also your personal taste, if you have more than 1gb, then go for Ubuntu 12.04 or Kubuntu 12.04, if less than 1gb, go for Lubuntu or Xubuntu. Ubuntu uses the Unity desktop environment, Kubuntu uses KDE, Lubuntu uses LXDE, and Xubuntu uses XFCE, all very nice distributions.

My post above showed the distro's with their default DE's, Lubuntu also comes with Openbox, but I would not recommend that for new users to Linux.

True, but codingman was speaking in general, since we still don't know the amount of Ram. Edit;
