It's used either way. I think in writing, lower case, in things like bus schedules, upper case.

> 2) Midnight is 12am, not 12pm, right? (I find this very confusing. "Midnight > Wednesday" is always the time at the end of Wednesday. So that's 12am > Wednesday, or 12am Thursday, or what??)

Midnight is 12AM (immediately after 11:59:59 is the beginning of the new day). "12:00AM Wednesday December 13th, 2000" is "Wednesday, 13-Dec-2000, 0:00". It's the beginning of Wednesday.
