Paying a credit card company is not an expense but a loan payment. Your monthly cc balance is the result of a series of microloans from the cc company. What and when you charged is your expense

RE 1: Depends.  How did you pay it? If you paid by check, enter a check.  If you paid by ePayment, you can enter a check with a check number like "ACH" or similar, or enter a transfer transaction.

 

RE 2: The type of accounts is a Credit Card account, the account where you've recorded your Credit Card activity.  I call my something like "Chase Visa" or similar, so I can keep the several cards strait in my head.
