As a person that is kinda new to IRC (i know the IRC basics but never
tried modding/scripting in anyway or knows pretty much nothing about
coding) i was wondering if it was possible to make a script that would
automaticly Whois anyone that connects to my channel? I tried googling
for some kind but i didn't understand anything =(

That entirely depends on your IRC client. It's most likely possible
and not that hard to do, but you'd need to use some kind of flood
protection too, in case of netsplits (many people "joining" the
channel at the same time).

I use mIRC and do you know what kind of things i should know if i
tried to make one or whom i should ask for assistance or any kind of
help(or to make one for me, either work for me as im kinda like
reading to exams 90% of the time but trying to squeez in as much time
as possible on this) Sorry for typos i dont speak too good English  =S

There are plenty of tutorials for learning mIRC scripting. As to doing
an auto-whois, you could read the mIRC manual on the "ON JOIN" event.
There are plenty of examples on how to do stuff in the manual too.

So im thinking at this point that you know what your talking about so
would you think this code on [this site](http://forums.mirc.com/ubbthr
eads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/236855/page/2#Post236855) would work
(please still clarify which one as there like multiple in there =P)

Looks fine to me. I was just going to reply and say:
on *:JOIN:#:{
  .whois $nick
}
Which would whois everyone joining any channel you're in. The code on
the site would let you pick and choose channels.

would it be a lot of work to get it to do the whois on the page it
does it on? Im currently using this script.

on *:join:#: {

if ($chan == #Myawesomechannel) { whois $nick }

}

Would it be much work to make it so the whois on the page im
"stalking" instead of the "homepage"(not sure of the real term)? My
current script:

on *:join:#: {

  if ($chan == #Myawesomechannel) { whois $nick }

}

Well, any of them should work, you can read about the pros and cons in
the topic.

I haven't used mIRC in about 10 years but if I remember correctly
there's a way to modify the behaviour of server-side commands (such as
whois) through 'raw'.

After a bit of Google'ing I found this.

Seems to me like that's exactly what you wanted. Basically you're
modifying the way the whois info is sent back to you and making it
appear in a specific window.
