Welcome to HBT and brewing.

To answer your 1st question about the sugar and the keg. It depends on how much beer needs to get carbed as to how much sugar you add. by sugar I mean dextrose (corn sugar).

If you have a co2 tank you can force carb the beer and it will be ready to drink faster. set it to 15 psi and chill it for 1-2 weeks, it should be all set by then.

If "buy beer like budwieser" you are asking what kit/recipe to buy then I suggest looking into the "cream of 3 crops" in the recipe section. If you mean what store bought beer tastes like bud then my answer is bud because of the adjucts they use in it. No other commercial beer tastes quite like bud for this reason.

NP on the brew. typically you will want to add 3/4 of dextrose into a small amount of water in a pan. Bring it to a boil so that it is disolved and then allow to cool. Next dump that into the keg and the rack the beer over to the keg with a siphon. close up the keg and make sure it is sealed. then wait 2+ weeks with the keg above 70F.
