Roughly, to answer above questions:

: it realy depends, you can search for some info, there are alsomany tour packages out there and also some ppl who arrange thier own trips. In my opinion, follow your instint then!

- any cheap guest house in Tokyo and Osaka?
Check out the websites given then, loads of many cheaps hostel and guesthouses.

- Is it difficult to travel from Tokyo to other cities?
- Is the transportation fare expensive?
JR pass should be the best solution, isn't it?
googling JR pass and you will get more info

- How many days will be suitable to visit Tokyo and Osaka?
it depends on your budget
- Which airline is cheapest to fly from Bangkok to Narita or Osaka?
Check out the rate given above then, Singpore Airline, China Airline also offer reasonable price (depends on dates).

Hope these could help
