Shabbat is not started by people. It starts at sundown on Friday evening. Women in Jewish tradition "make Shabbat" by making the home clean and baking special bread called Challah and lighting candles before sundown (18 minutes before sundown is the most auspicious time to light the candles) and saying a blessing and thanks. The men have prayers to say and they usually bless the wine.
That would depend on where you live, however, Shabbat always starts 20 minutes before sunset on Friday afternoon and lasts until you can see 3 stars on Saturday night.
That depends on sunset and the daylight savings and standard time. Each week it starts at a slightly different time, so you need to check.
Some number of minutes before local sunset on Friday evening; the number depends on the particular ideological community followed by the individual, and typically ranges between 20 and 50 minutes.

What do the Jews do on the shabbat at home?
Shabbat dinner on Friday Evening is usually the most elaborate meal of the week. Observant Jews will light shabbat candles at home just before sunset, and begin the meal with kiddush, a special prayer and blessing over wine and bread. The bread is frequently challah, specially baked for Shabbat. If there is not a communal Shabbat kiddush luncheon in the synagogue, Shabbat lunch at home may be more ornate than the usual lunch, either with cold leftovers from dinner, or special dishes like cholent that are slow cooked overnight. At the end of Shabbat, there is a special prayer and ritual called Havdallah that divides Shabbat from the mundane days of the week. All of the Shabbat religious services can be held in the home for Jews who do not go to the synagogue for communal services.
