Since some of these questions weren't answered, I thought I'd offer my opinion. (I was unfortunately a deb. Pretty irritating experience through and through, but when your mom insists, sometimes it's just easier to go along with the charade than put up a fight.)
Yes, the gloves should be to the elbow. If you're wearing black, your gloves can (and some would argue that they should) be black. Definitely don't wear a white dress; I'd go so far as to recommend not wearing a pastel or light-colored dress. If your dress is any color other than black, white gloves are appropriate.
