There used to be on the GPG forums back in the day but idk if someone preserved those posts. Your best bet is to download other people's mods and see how they're set up.

Easiest way to work out how to do something is find a mod that does something similar and see how it does it. The base game can also be explored

Get the source code for the base game:

Yes you can make a ui mod on your own machine that is not uploaded. If you make something awesome share it so you dont have an unfair advantage

In case you make an UI mod, you can test this local. Also no other player needs this mod if you like to test this in a multiplayer game.
Only if you decide to make a SIM mod, then all players need the exact same version of the SIM mod or the game will desync.
