We've taken the AutoTrain several times and you do need to have reservations. Amtrak staff puts your vehicle on the train. Dining is available and if you're in a room, the meal is provided at no additional cost. I'll leave the what you should know to others as I'm sure you'll get plenty of advice. Here are a few links of interest that include travelogues on the AutoTrain.
