There is an entire Budo art dedicated to drawing a sword, cutting, wiping off and returning the blade to the sheath. It's known as Iaido.
There is no one way to draw a Katana properly - it depends on the instruction given to the student by the Master teaching Iaido. While you could learn the basic moves from a book or video, it's not the same as actually being taught how to perform the moves and then practicing it until it becomes instinct and fluid movement, and not something that is thought about prior to performing.
I've attached a link to the Wiki on Iaido, but if you really want to learn, find a local dojo that teaches it properly and learn there.

Is a medium Katana better like 30 inches or a long Katana 40 inch?
well, for combat, a shorter katana allows for greater mobility. the only reason it'd be long is for the reach or extra weight, but if you want those just get a Naginata(i personally like these). but as for design, i think it'd have a nice look to it, though make sure to get a full tang katana no matter what as for decorative katana's i found this interesting also, though i think it's just the blade, if i could i would get a diff. sheath, and hand guard

Perhaps you are thinking of the straight shorter blade that ninjas used against the samurai katana? That is the ninjaken, or ninja sword, obviously a technical term in japenese :P.

Samurai have a long laundry list of weapons to choose from. The traditional weapon of samurai would be a katana. A katana is a Japanese sword, kept in a sheath, the way of the sword is kenjitsu, a katana is curved. A nodachi is a extremely large katana that can be over a yard long, Kojiro Sasaki could hold a nodachi with one hand. A yari is a Japanese spear. A naginata is a girl samurai's weapon, it is like spear, except the blade is curved. A yumi is a Japanese bow or a long bow, maybe, sometimes a blade bow. A shuriken is a ninja star, a ninja weapon, it's kinda like a boomerang, but it can have three blades or more. A war fan, a Japanese strategist favorite, does not have a blade, from what I've heard. A tanto, a Japanese dagger, the size of a knife, but extremely sharp, sometimes sharper than a katana or nodachi, it is also kept in a sheath. Wakizashi is a shorter blade than a katana, since samurai also carry a second. A kama is a sickle blade, which is sometimes used on chain. That's all the japanese weapons I've heard of.
