The easiest way to join a political party in many countries is to go to that party's website - often, political parties will allow you to join from their website for a small fee (the same fee as joining the party through other means). If you can't join a party this way, the best thing to do is look up the telephone number of their local branch and call to ask how you can join the party.
The Republican Party is the Conservative Party in the US. (Techinally there is no Conservative "Party", but Republicans are considered Conservatives)

Yes. Though I suspect you mean at the national level. There are several independents in the United States' Congress who caucus with the major parties. Joe Lieberman is obstensibly an independent (which is similar to being 3rd party but not entirely the same) in the United States' Senate. At the state and local levels, however, 3rd party membership is far more common. Local governments commonly have non-party-affiliated officials, Green Party officials, and some that are even less well known.
The United States Senate has equal membership from each state. The Senate is comprised of two Senators from each of the fifty states.
