i play this opening , but dunnoo the name of it,,

i move the pawn infront of king, two steps, and if the opponent forwards the pawn infront of his king, two steps, i move my king-sided horse. then i definately pull out my king-sided bishop.

First you may want to do a search on the internet for algebraic notation so you will learn how to use it when referring to chess moves, here is a nice page explaing algebraic notation http://www.chess.freegames.eu.com/rules/notations/algebraic.html  it will make it easy for you to have access to interesting chess related material, what you are referring to seems to be the Italian opening or bishop opening which in algebraic notation would look as follows 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4, and on the board will look as follows if this is what you are referring to:

yes if black responds Bc5 = italian, if black responds Nf6 it transposes to 2 knights def,however if white moves 3- Bb5 it becomes the ruy lopez

Yes. The opening you talk of is the Itlalian Game. Responses for black are:

 Nf6- Two Knights Defense

Bc5- Giouco Piano

Be7- Hungarian Defense
