Default Which brushless motor?

I've been looking at brushless motors etc and can't help being a little confused.

Some advertise rpm per volt and others a Kv rating. Are these the same? e.g is a 2kv rating the same as 2000rpm/v?
How do I know how many amps the motor will pull and therefore which ESC I need?
How do I work out how many watts of power I have and need for a particular plane?
How powerful does the motor need to be to power a GWS E-starter or a GWS TM400?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks..
