1) Fan should have a green.

2) Blue is the light kit, attach it to incoming black with fan black

3) Both fan and light should have pull chains

4) Is the box fan rated?

1.The green is the ground and is in the hardware thats goes on the ceiling..

3. Yes they both have pull chain
4. Dont know the rating.

Code requires a fan rated box or fan has to be independently supported.

314.27
(C) Boxes at Ceiling-Suspended (Paddle) Fan Outlets.
Outlet boxes or outlet box systems used as the sole support of
a ceiling-suspended (paddle) fan shall be listed, shall be
marked by their manufacturer as suitable for this purpose, and
shall not support ceiling-suspended (paddle) fans that weigh
more than 32 kg (70 lb). For outlet boxes or outlet box systems
designed to support ceiling-suspended (paddle) fans that
weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb), the required marking shall
include the maximum weight to be supported.

I dont have a junction box to mount it.. I will drill it to the ceiling..
Now in the 3 prong cord... I guess the black on it withe the black/blue on the fan.. The white on the fan to the other on the cord(no color noted) and the middle on to the ground...
Where can i ground thr ground wire.. I have no junction box?

I am sorry but this really getting DIY. I have probably already let it go too far.

I doubt that the fan is listed for a cord connection.

At this point I gotta recommend you hire an electrician.
