You're asking quite a lot, so I'll do my best to address all your questions.
First, to be successful in badminton you need to have a lot of endurance and speed. Upper body strength is a good asset, but your footwork is probably the most important aspect.
Second, there are two ways to play badminton. You can play to 21 and anybody can get a point, or you can play to 15 and only the server gets a point. You can play singles, in which the outermost lines width-wise do not count as in, or you can play doubles, in which a serve cannot go bast the second-to-last line lengthwise. When serving, the server hits the birdie from below the waist over the net into the square diagonal from where he's standing. The birdie must travel past the first line on the other side of the court or the serve is short and the other player gets to serve. From there, both players try to get the birdie to touch the ground on their opponent's side. In doing this, they cannot bring their racket onto their opponent's side of the net, they can only hit the birdie once, and their racket cannot touch the net at all. You get the point if you hit the birdie in the court on your opponent's side, your opponent hits the birdie out or it hits the roof, or your opponent does a carry. You continue serving until your opponent wins a rally. If you're playing singles, your opponent gets the serve. If you're playing singles, your partner gets to serve if he hasn't already gotten a chance.
Badminton players do all sorts of exercises. For endurance they do a lot of running, for sprinting they do all sorts of... well, sprints, and for agility they run from one corner of the court to the middle, and then to another corner and back again and continue until they're ready to die. But when it comes to actual badminton, players will spend an hour or two just rallying back and forth either to warm up or to practice their drops, clears, smashes, drives or other shots. And then there are the actual games.
There are several strategies you can use anywhere from training to moves. In training, a player can practice getting better at smashes by first becoming very good at precision drops, and then gradually increasing the power so that accuracy is not lost. When doing a rally, hitting the birdie away from your opponent makes it harder for him to return and also wears him out. Driving the birdie directly at your opponent is also a good strategy. In order to throw off your opponent, doing a slice can give the impression that you're hitting the birdie with power in one direction when you're really hitting a weak drop in another direction. It's best not to overwhelm yourself with tricks up front. Learn the special tricks when you've developed the skills to perform them.
