Without make, model of each laptop and tv the answer must be "connect the output of the laptop to a compatible input on the TV." Many hoped for a better answer!

As to question 2, you need a HD TV to see this in HD.

You forgot to tell what collection of video outputs are on the laptop, and what collection of video inputs are on the TV. If the laptop has a VGA out, and the TV has a VGA in (both are analogue)
it might work with a VGA-VGA cable. But it won't be HD probably.

If there's no direct match some converter or adapter is needed. If you tell all details about the available connections, somebody here might advise one.
