Answer 1

"So now this is static right?" No. Just because the URL doesn't end in .php or similar doesn't mean it's static. It's time for you to learn the wonders of mod_rewrite:

Answer 2

Your first example isn't static at all. It's just using a tool to route the request based on the URL.

All you need to get the same functionality is to investigate URL Routing in PHP and implement it in your application as well.

Answer 3

If you want Google to index this search page you have to tell Google it exists, either through a Sitemap or by putting a link on your site that Google can crawl. Google did fill in forms in the past, but I am not sure if they still do and afaik, they only did on a selected few sites.

To make the search static, you have to render the page once and store it in a file. Whether you do that manually by simply calling up the file in your browser and then saving it or by means of a Caching System is up to you.
