What happens at their party's convention if none of the candidates have enough delegates to win the nomination?
There will be a brokered national convention. After the delegates vote as pledged, and no one gets the majority of delegates, then the delegates vote again, this time not necessarily as they pledged to, that is, not necessarily as the voters from their states wanted them to. They vote again and again until a decision is reached.

By 1920 there were 20 states with primaries, but some went back, and from 1936 to 1968, 12 states used them.Currently, Iowa holds the first caucus and New Hampshire holds the first primary -- first in the sense as the first in that election campaign.
What traditionally happens during the nominating process for a party that has a sitting president up for reelection?
I am not sure what you are asking. A sitting president is normally certain of being nominated for a second term, so he tries to appear statesman-like and keeps apart from the hoop-la of the convention. If he wants a new Vice President or has ideas for the platform, he would let his staff and friends make his wishes known. He will probably appear and make a speech the last day of the convention.
