1. You'd start out at a 4-year college or university, major in anything, and take the premed classes in bio, chem, physics, math, and English. You can do this at just about any 4-year school. Then you'd have another 4 years of medical school, followed by 3+ years of residency in pediatrics.
2. What eri said. But might I add that pediatricians are pretty much really underpaid and overworked, compared to most other medical professions.
