The short answer is STFW.  ;-)  Your questions are easily answered in
about 2 minutes on Google (http://www.google.com/).

There are any number of places on the web that collect these kinds of
things, here is one of them:

The Jargon Dictionary: http://info.astrian.net/jargon/,
specifically: http://info.astrian.net/jargon/terms/y/YMMV.html

Some of the more popular acronyms can also be found in the more general
purpose dictionaries, such as:

http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?YMMV
http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=ymmv

I like Dictionary.com because it pulls definitions from a variety of
sources.
