Elemental has a few disadvantages pre-Outlands in that we don't see a lot of spell crit / power early on. That being said, congrats on finding a spec you like, and running with it.
1. Questing is almost always the fastest way to level. Instancing is a close second.
2. Delicate balance there. Mail means you can take an extra few hits. One or two bits with Spell Damage on it isn't bad, however.
3. For the most part, shield over staff. Remember that shields can be enchanted, allowing you access to an extra bit of buff over using a staff.

I leveled as Elemental. It's not as bad as people think.
1) How should I level(solo or instancing)?
Always level solo. In the time it takes you to get a group together and get through any instance, you could have turned in 10 quests and dinged (especially with the 2.3 changes).
2)Should I get more spell damage gear or more Mail gear(for armor bonuses)?
There isn't a lot of +damage gear of any flavor pre-OL. I suppose you could use cloth, but I wouldn't. Try to stick with mail as much as possible. Go for "of the Eagle" greens.
3)Should i use a staff or a sheild+1-hander?
Definitely use a shield. Extra armor plus chance to block. You'll need it. Unlike what others have said, I wouldn't enchant it. I personally don't enchant anything until I hit 70. I don't see the point in spending the money on something that I'm going to vendor (or DE myself) in 2 or 3 levels.
4)Are htere any useful macros i should know about?
/cast Elemental Mastery
/cast Chain Lightning
That's my personal favorite. Since I play an Orc, I also throw my racial in there and various other macros.
5) Any useful mods i should know about?
I personally prefer YATA for my totems. It's pretty simple and unobtrusive. I'm not a fan of the sphere mods like Totemus.
