You should absolutely not make a repository inside your public_html
directory, or anywhere else that Apache will serve files directly
from (like its DocumentRoot). Instead, put the repository anywhere
else on disk, and then configure Apache to point at it with an
SVNPath directive.

Correct. You were not in a working copy. Either be in one, or use the
full URL.

Your svn command is much older than your svnadmin command. Check
whether there might be multiple versions of svn and/or svnadmin on
your system. It's best to have just one, and then of course of the
latest version, currently 1.6.4.

You should probably begin by spending several hours reading the
Subversion Book, which will give you a good handle on how Subversion
works and how you can best use it. The book is free to read online
and is located here:
