1. How can i zoom in and out, and take screenshots in turret view.

Not sure what you mean by zoom- if you mean switching between cockpit view and "chase" view, that's <ctrl-v>
taking screenshots in turret view is the same as the others- PrntScrn

2. How can I play on the same computer as a server is running on. When i view the server in freelancer, it just says a load of weird stuff in the IP address field like fe20:4447:jkds::.

That long string means you've got IPv6 running on your PC, and FL doesn't understand that. Turn off IPv6 in your NIC's properties page and try again- you should get a "normal" IP address in that screen.

3. how can i make my voyager ship available in multiplayer or will it just work. also, how can I choose what ship i start up with in multiplayer?

If you're running a modded game and a server on the same PC, it'll be there because they use the same files. There are a bunch of threads about changing starting ships/money around, just search for them. (or someone else could point you to them with links- I just don't have them)

I meant, is there a way to go further away and closer to the ship when in turret view.

Like in this shot:

When i go into turret view, i cant see hardly any of the ship, because it is so close up.

the distance your turret cam is from the center of your ship is set in the cockpit.ini- you'll have to fiddle with the numbers to get the distance you want.

Zooming in or out of your ship, as in trying to get close to something while not moving, is impossible in FL. Sorry.
