Barb showed last night how to use the Clone Stamp tool. I've never attempted it, so I don't know much else!

Depends on where they are in the photos if it's going to look natural (I'm sure an expert could do it).

If they're in the background, you could use the clone tool

my computer has a cut option, i open a blank screen too. I cut the part out that i dont want and paste on the blank screen. then save the cut picture the way you want it and close out blank screen with cut part in it and done.

I use http://gimp.org/ , which is the free tool that is similar to the full version of Photoshop. It takes practice, but there is also a clone tool in GIMP. The clone tool is great for minor touch-ups (wrinkles, crumbs, cuts, bruises, etc). I usually copy and paste other areas of the photo for larger repairs. Most repairs/touch-ups need a combination of tools to get a really good look. I would suggest lots of practice. As long as you keep the original untouched, feel free to play around until you get something you like.
