    Go to your nearest truck stop or search here and use Amazon. Wilson 1000 Mag mount is what I use.

    Antennas come with the cable needed to connect them. You said you need other cables? The only other thing you should need is connection for power. It should only be a hot(red) wire and ground(black) wire.
    CBs are real basic. Keep it portable use a cig lighter plug to get your power.

    Yes
    Not all antennas come with coax. Yes, you will need a power cord if you don't have one. I do not suggest running power from the cigarette plug. As others have stated a good mag mount like the Wilson is simple and can be taken down easily when not in use.
