You need to copy the skype application to your applications folder. Open the disk image, and highlight the skype application, and press command c to copy it. Now go to the applications folder and press command v to paste it there. Currently, there is no way that I know of to tell the status of a person, but there is an easy work around, you can configure skype to only show you the contacts that are on line, normally these would be the ones you would be interested in.
