There's a little on how to write the letters in Jonathan Robie's
excellent on-line introduction:
http://metalab.unc.edu/koine/greek/lessons/alphabet.html
But not on the capital letters.
In addition to the resource mentioned by Wieland, see the following place for
a directory of on-line images of NT manuscripts:

I don't know, but again there is an on-line resource that might help, again
Jonathan Robie's 101, which features Jonathan pronouncing all the examples he
gives.

For pronunciation of the Greek alphabet and some vocabulary, see David Hall's
page at:

I hope that this helps.
