What are the questions or tests I need to be asking myself, before I go off seeing a gender therapist to figure other stuff out if I'm actually Transgender, cross dresser, or if I just do nothing etc. ?

I think they will ask them.  Be as honest as you can.

Sh'e took the little blue ones.

Go along with an open mind, your therapist should help you explore those questions. When I initially contracted mine, I simply said I had some confusion with my gender identity.

You could have a look here:

There are other experienced online therapists too...

- would you be a bit more happy if your body was a bit more female ?

- how would you feel in female clothes ?

Did you have dreams of being female, or some memories from childhood ?

You could think a bit about those.

This is my opinion, others probably will disagree - I suggest NOT doing a lot of research.  It might taint your opinions.  It will take time, but be 100% honest with your therapist.  I found when I finally got everything out I was a wreck and needed another session the next day.  I wish I had the foresight to tell all.  No matter how embarrassing or non-related you believe something is, it's important to tell the truth, the whole truth and don't lie (okay - nothing but the truth.) 

The therapist is there to help and ask questions.  Some of the most "AH-HA!" moments I've had was when my therapist asked some very benign questions.  One was: Why did you come out to that person in particular.  WHAM - a huge light bulb turned on for me about coming out to others.

But to answer your question "what questions should I be asking myself?"  There are a bunch but at the end of the day "Will I be happier living as a Male/Female/something-in-between?"  That is impossible to answer until later.

I sometimes even wonder if being simply confused about my gender itself means something about it.

It may.
Usually cis people do not question their gender so it could be a sign in itself.
