1. This is not very clear. What difference does the colour of the thread make? You would crochet the same as any other thread or yarn. There is no difference. Sometimes the gold-coloured is a bit rough and stiffer because of the material in the yarn, but you just proceed as normal. If you know how to crochet, then you wouldn't need to know anything else.
2. I would assume that you crochet with it as you would any other yarn/thread. I tried looking on the web for something talking specifically about crocheting with gold thread, but I couldn't find much. What I would suggest is holding a strand of the gold thread along with a coordinating color (beige wool, for instance) and crocheting with them both held together, thus using the gold thread as an accent (that's what I do). Or if you want to crochet an accessory out of it, you could use the gold thread to crochet a small flower or two for a pair of earrings. Be creative. Crochet with it however you want to, whatever you think looks best.
