Answer 1

You probably don't have the correct SMTP settings set up in your php.ini. I'd recommend using something other than mail() anyway, as it's more likely to be reliable. Try something like this instead.
Either that, or it's just landed in your spam folder.

Answer 2

Are you sending it from Linux? If yes, please check /var/log/mail.err and see if the SMTP throws any errors.
For Windows it might be necessary to install a SMTP server, like Mercury SMTP

Have you considered using PHP Mailer Class?
The example below is a form that submits to itself on the same page just paste the below at the very top of your contact page. Download and include your class.
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
$address = "you#youremail.com";
$name = htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']);
$email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']);
$subject = htmlspecialchars($_POST['subject']);
$comment = htmlspecialchars($_POST['comment']);
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // defaults to using php "mail()"
$body = $comment;
$mail->AddReplyTo($email,$name);
$mail->SetFrom($email,$name);
$mail->AddReplyTo($email,$name);
$mail->AddAddress($address, "Your Name");
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$mail->Send();
}

Consider using this library: http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/phpmailer/
It's extremely easy to setup and use, also gives you details in case of an error.
