They tell you a bit on the pattern what to do. It's kind of a basic pattern though.
What kind/type of TV do you have? You might need to access the TVs service menu to fine tune things.

The test pattern only runs for 10 minutes.
Thruout the 10 minutes it tells you briefly what each one is suppose to do, how ever it is VERY basic ...

No,
There are a lot of different calibration discs around, some better than others.
When you get one, make sure you calibrate all your inputs as many TV's have individual settings for each input.

That's sort of the problem. A DVD player could have different characteristics compared to the DTV receiver. Many sets also calibrate independently to the input.
Supposedly, all devices should be close but a bit of variation can occur. Since you have an LCD only one resolution is needed. On sets that support multiple the calibrations can differ with resolution.
My guess is an LCD should be a bit easier to calibrate compared to something like a RP CRT that have a staggering amount of calibration options.

Go with what your eyes see ....
If you really need to do an actual calibration, get a disc or hire someoone to come out and do it, but ultimatly it's going to come down to what YOU see.
You can get the best guy out there or the best disc out there and have it all calibrated and find out that it's nothing close to what you want to see or the way you like your set up.
What would you do then, say this is the way it should be, even if it doesn't look right to you , or are you going to set it up for what looks right to you ?
Everybody sees differently.
Yes they will help in pointing out different things to look for, as far as black and white levels, contrast and sharpness, but eventually it has to come down to what you see.
I could come over and set it up perfectly to what a disc says or what I feel is correct and you may think it's great or garbage ....
