1. If your web server is accessible to the public Internet (e.g. you can access your application specification from machines outside of your local network), then all you need to do is submit this URL. That said, I'd encourage you to look into alternative hosting schemes before submitting since popular applications have taken down many a server in the past. Some developers use Google App Engine (which is currently free) to host their spec. Others invest in computational resources from Joyent and other service providers for a fee every month. I highly encourage you to look into one of these options.
2. When you first submit an application, it must be reviewed before it can be listed in orkut's directory. You should receive an email from the team when your review is complete. After this, you can change your application at will without any further reviews, although we go through apps from time to time to determine whether they're breaking any of the guidelines laid out at http://code.google.com/apis/orkut/docs/orkutdevguidelines.html. So to answer your question, when you want to add new themes, just add the themes and the necessary UI edits to your application spec and associated JavaScript files. Once the cache expires, your changes will be visible immediately to existing users -- no re-submission required. 3. See #2 above. In a nutshell, once your app is approved, you can continue editing your spec and any changes you make will be visible to all users once your app's cache expires. You don't need to resubmit or email the orkut team.
