1)Initial submission actions are the actions that occur when a user first submits a record for approval. By default, an action to lock the record runs automatically on initial submission. Initial submission actions can include any approval actions such as email alerts, field updates, tasks, or outbound messages. For example, an initial submission action can update a custom approval status field to “In Progress.”

2)In case you need to send a record for approval without button click, you need to code either using a trigger or customizing the entire approval process.

3)Following are the actions used in approval process-
Task  - Assigns a task to a user you specify. You can specify the Subject, Status, Priority, andDue Date of the task.
Email Alert - Uses an email template you specify to send an email to a designated recipient.
Field Update - Changes the value of a selected field. You can specify a value or create a formula for the new value.
Outbound Message - Sends a message to an endpoint you designate. You can also specify a username and the data you want to include in the message.
