Hello,
Re English not being your first language... not until you said it wasn't.
1) You may be eligible for Associate Member. It depends on your academic background. There is a route to membership drawing on the IRSE website or you could contact the office for it.
2) The study packs give you some guidance to previous questions and some model answers plus some information which could help you study for the exam (I think the telecomm modules study packs aren't as mature as their signalling counterparts). My answer to how to study for the exam is that it is a vocational exam so by doing your day job you will learn to pass the exam and the purpose of the study packs is to assist in the weaker areas we all have. Read some of the IRSE textbook, the Yellowbook is ideal for some of the M1/7 fundementals, RAIB accident reports, this website, a studygroup (virtual or real)...
Hope that helps. Want anymore, feel free to ask.
