1) how do I know what datetime format my sql server is using? e.g. American or Australia?
2) At what point, did we set the datetime format, is it during installation?
3) How do we change the format?

>1) how do I know what datetime format my sql server is using? e.g. American or Australia?
it's not a server setting, but the language setting per login that determines this.
>3) How do we change the format?
as from 1), you can change the language for the login, and there you go.
however, you might consider not relying on implicit data type conversion, but on explicit conversion:
for example:
CONVERT(datetime, '2008-03-17', 120)
select name ,alias, dateformat
from syslanguages
where langid =
(select value from master..sysconfigures
where comment = 'default language')
