I do not yet even have a ranking at USChess and my tournament raking on chess.com is still below 1,000. At what level of player do you want in these matches?

There's no pre  sign up?  If I happen to be online when the live play is going I'm able to join?

Matches open for registration one hour before their scheduled start time, so you can sign up any time during that one hour window.

Can you explain the time controls, i.e., what does 15+2, 10+2, etc. mean?

The first number is the number of minutes you start with, and the second number is the increment per move in seconds. So 15+2 is 15 minutes with a 2 second increment.

What are time controls for rapid and blitz, and how many matches of each do you play in a session? Thanks

Rapid is typically either 10+2 or 15+2, and blitz is typically either 3+2 or 5+2. In each team match, you play two games against the same opponent from the other team, one as white and one as black.
