Train fares and tariffs / Sightseeing in Germany

Hi tUt,
I last contacted you in 2010 re trains in Central Europe where you gave me excellent advice and help.
This time we will be on a cruise out of Amsterdam calling in at ports in the Baltic Sea. The first port is Warnemunde, Germany and we are a group of 4 who would like to take a train to Schwerin (to see the castle) and stop off at Rostock on our return journey before returning to Warnemunde where the ship will be leaving port at around 11.30pm.
I have looked at the Bahn.de site and find it a little confusing! I would appreciate your help with a few items.
How do I book a Mecklenberg-Vorpommurn ticket? This seems to be the best idea though I realiise it can't be used on IC trains.
Does this pass cover all 4 of us for our outward and return journey?
I believe we have to change trains at Rostock - can we get on and off any time and return at any time? Why I ask is that it the website asks for a departure and return time.
Can it be booked online and can I print the ticket?
Is there any advantage in booking early? (we are not travelling until May 2013)
What price should we pay?
If, for some reason, we are delayed and I have to change the day - is that possible?
Thanking you in advance,
Kind regards,
Joode
