If you want to top you just cut off the newest growth at the node and two new branches will start growing, use sterile scissors/razor blade to do the cutting.

Throw it out, or you could try to clone it but it would be pretty hard I would imagine.

It makes two top colas instead of one, which can lead to much higher yield (some strains will just result in two small colas, which is no good). I'm 99% sure that there is an in-depth explanation in the growFAQ, which is worth reading.

I've heard many different ideas on when to top, but the most reliable source says in the 3rd or 4th week of veg, which makes sense to me. That gives it time to regrow and what not before you flower it.
