What are the basic symbols?
I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), M (1000). Combinations of these form all other numbers.
What is the 'Subtractive' rule?
If a smaller numeral is before a larger one, you subtract it (e.g., IV is 5 - 1 = 4).

No. The Romans did not have a symbol for zero; they used the Latin word 'nulla' when they needed to represent 'none'.
