Your body, just like an an engine, will work best at a certain pace and resistance, you want to keep turning the cranks at beetween 80-100 turns/minute.

If pushing the pedals becomes so heavy that your pace drops off, switch to an easier gear. If pushing the pedals becomes so easy that you have a hard time keeping up, change to a heavier gear

The ideal pace to pedal at is 80-100 turns/minute, and you shift gears when your pedaling rate drops out of that zone. Basically, if turning the pedals is heavy, switch to a lighter gear and if the pedals aren't giving you any resistance switch to a heavier gear.

That is a shift pattern, only problem is your pattern would be 1 down and 4 up. From neutral position, you click the shift lever down to go into first gear, then each time you shift you will click one position (gear) up at a time until you are in 5th gear.

Depends more on what type of gears that you have than it does on the size of the wheels. If the gear levers are the same type as on a bigger bike the 24 inch bike will shift just the same way.
