35mm negatives
What is the difference in the 35mm film that I send to the lab and the negatives I get back with my photos...Is there a stop process that happens in the lab?

The negatives you get back is the same film you left with the lab. The film is subjected to a chemical process to reveal the image created in the camera, and make it permanent.

Yes. Black & White is often done by hobbyists at home. E-6 slides and C-41 color print film can be processed at home, but is much less common. Kodachrome cannot be developed by hobbyists as the chemicals are too hazardous for home use/disposal. See http://www.jobo-usa.com/index1.html for one company that sells film developing equipment. Chemicals are also available from Kodak, Fuji, Ilford, and others.
