installing mods may seem very complex at first, but it's simple once you get used to it. first, download the forge version of the mod you want. 1.7.10 and 1.11.2 work best. once you have that, download the mod you want. for this example, lets use lucky blocks. once it is downloaded, it should either be a .jar file or a .zip file. .jar is easier, but .zip works too. if it's .jar, just locate you .minecraft folder, it should be under appdata. make a folder in that folder, and call it mods. place the .jar file in the folder, and open minecraft. from the launcher, click select profile, and if you installed forge, you should see one that says forge. select that one, then select edit profile. where it says use release version, select forge release 1.x.x  where x represents the forge version. so for 1.7.10 mods, select forge release 1.7.10. then click save profile, and click play. if everything is done right, you should see the mojang logo as normal, with a bar with mod infomation beneath it. wait for the mod to load, and go into a world. if everything is done right, the mod should be enabled. if the mod is a .zip file, use something like 7zip to unzip it. 7zip is free, so don't worry about that. after it is unzipped, locate the .jar file in the folder, and do the previously metioned steps. like i said, it sounds like a big and complicated process, but it's actually very simple once you get used to it. as for lan worlds, just pause the game with esc key, and click open to lan.

hope this helped, and feel free to ask any more questions.
