Yes, if you have back problems then I suggest you bring one.

No, you can't put nails into the walls and none are provided. You can however use push pins on the cork board and hang it there, or you can just lean it again the wall where your desk it.
Every room has mirrors if you want to use the markers on them. Just make sure to clean the mirror before you leave.

You'll have to keep it somewhere in your room. You could bring it home but I would advise against it. It would look like you are stealing on the cameras.

A cork board is a board made of cork. It's used to pin stuff on.
