Generally if your clutch is on the way out you put your foot on the accelerator, the revs go up but the car moves slowly as the clutch plates slip over each other before they start to rotate at the same speed.
A bit like if you were driving with the clutch half depressed.
Difficult to say how much it costs because it depends on the car. In some cases the whole engine has to be removed to do it which obviously makes it more expensive.

If it goes on you it'll leave you stranded and you'll have to be towed to the nearest (not the cheapest) garage and you'll be without transport until it's done.
If you're confident it's on the way out I'd ring round and get some quotes rather than wait until it's immobile on somebody's forecourt and they've got you by the short and curlies
