Naomi's answer is correct.
Second one: ~ではありません。is a normal polite version.
~じゃない。is a casual version.
This is not my watch. これは、私の時計ではありません。/これは私の時計じゃない。same meaning.

Hi Mistie! I'm learning Japanese too, but I just recently learned this section from my textbook, so I think I can help out with the first part of your question.
これ means "this one" and we use it to talk about things we don't name.
For example, これはいくらですか。-- How much is this?
この means "this" and is used with a noun.
For example, このとけいはいくらですか。-- How much is this watch?
