To get started with QuickFIX, take a look at the example programs that 
you installed when you installed quickfix.  They are in quickfix/examples.
You should also read the documentation that you can find starting from 
quickfix/doc/html/index.html (load this into your browser).

To address your specific questions: 

To send an order you should create a FIXnn::NewOrderSingle object (nn is 
a protocol version like 42 or 43) and add the necessary fields to it, 
then send it via one of the FIX::Session methods.
Receive the order by overriding the fromApp method of your 
implementation of the FIX::Application interface.  You should probably 
pass the message to a FIX::MessageCracker and catch the result in an 
overidden onMessage method..  The documentation will help with the details.

The session ID is assembled from the BeginString, SenderCompID, 
TargetCompID, and optional SessionQualifier fields from your fix 
configuration file.
BeginStirng is determined by the version of the protocol you are using: 
i.e. FIX.4.2
SenderCompID and TargetCompID are determined by mutual agreement between 
the coparties (but in practice they are usually assigned by the acceptor 
which is often and exchange).
SessionQualifier can be ignored unless you know why you need it.

FYI: My company offers an "Introduction to QuickFIX for C++ programmers" 
class to help new developers get started.  Let me know if you'd like 
more details.
