5.) Lastly and most important..

Saving is done by making server dump client data either into INI files (preferred, since it is readable format), or data files (either text or binary).
Most likely there is no exact example for mentioned things, since it would be basically medium-sized typical GameMaker multi-player game.
However, search around. There are many examples, often including few sections of what you've listed.

To 'keep up' a server made in GameMaker, you will need a machine running Windows with DirectX 8 or above installed. Unfortunately this is not a typical case for servers, leaving you to either keep server 'locally' (at your home), or paying larger fees for such.

Computer.
For remote pay to someone (commonly company, there are many of these nowadays) to keep up one online at wherever they are, while you are able to access it one or other way.
Keeping server locally basically means that you have either your computer, or some other computer at your residence, running 24/7 with internet connected and server executable open.
