Answer 1

Once you create a customer you can charge their default card with:

\Stripe\Charge::create(array(
  "amount" => $amount_cents,
  "currency" => "usd",
  "customer" => $customer
));

If the customer has more than one card and you want to charge a card that isn't the default card, you have to pass in the customer and card id (when the card has already been saved to the customer):

\Stripe\Charge::create(array(
  "amount" => $amount_cents,
  "currency" => "usd",
  "customer" => $customer,
  "source" => $card_id
));

You can read more about this in Stripe's API docs:
