the kids' names and ages (in the movie) are:

Liesl von Trapp, age 16
Freidrich von Trapp, age 14
Louisa von Trapp, age 13
Kurt von Trapp, age 10
Brigitta von Trapp, age 9
Marta von Trapp, age 7
Gretl von Trapp, age 5

as for auditioning tips... that would depend upon who you are auditioning for! ;) a few general suggestions would be to "overact"... meaning to speak loudly, confidently, projectively and over-emphasize all of your actions... this is what shows well on stage.
