You can try the experimental installer http://tracker.netdomination.org/ at the top under "latest news"

You can install gentoo fine from any bootable disk or cd that has network support. My first gentoo install was done from a 1.44 fedora boot disk.

Lots of people do it from knoppix so they get a gui to web surf while it compiles stuff.

The gentoo livecd does not have any gui installed, it is completely text based. Even if you install using knoppix or something similar, you will be installing from the command line in a terminal.

Yes. The normal installation is a "live cd." In addition, you can install it from knoppix.

And does it have any graphical enviroment? i tried to enter kde, gnome and others, but it didn't work. It was my first time @ gentoo please help

The gentoo install cd doesn't have a graphical envirnment. Gentoo does, if you install it (eg emerge kde to install kde).

this might be what u are looking for: http://www.lxnaydesign.net/

it works well as a livecd as well. i now use it as a replacement for knoppix since i can chroot and emerge pkgs if i wanted to.
