Your first question has already been answered above. As for your second question, afaik there is no way to be absolutely sure that you won't get charged. You have to be cautious when you experiment with AWS and always verify if the service you're using is covered by the free tier. A good way to prevent unpleasant surprises is to set up a CloudWatch alarm, which will notify you if your billing charges exceed a certain amount (you can put something low like ).

The free tier isn't unlimited. If you go over the limits, how do you expect them to charge you?
From the terms:

When your free usage expires or if your application use exceeds the free usage tiers, you simply pay standard, pay-as-you-go service rates (see each service page for full pricing details).
