How does the numbers of each notes work? example, C4 is the note two lines below the staff so would that mean C5 (if there is even such a thing) is the C that is on the 3rd space? I have never heard of this but it sounds kindof important for me to know.

You got it!
The only "weirdness":
C startes the numbering sequence, so the note below C4 is B3.

is there a term that they call this? or is it just the numbers of the notes?

hmmm i though the numbers based on the standard 88 key piano kayboard. but i must be wrong since "A" starts the keyboard instead of "C".

I believe it's called International Pitch Notation. I am not certain of its originations.

ALOMAR... You're really close. They still use middle C as a standard, but they shifted the number sequence so that the lowest C on a piano is Number 1 (Making an A0, a Bb0, and a B0)

I'm not sure whether it should be called "international" or not. It is used in America, but a completely different system is normal in Europe. It corresponds to the American system as follows:
C1 = C,
C2 = C
C3 = c
C4 = c'
C5 = c''
C6 = c'''
C7 = c''''
etc.

Flute people(I play flute too) use these notations meaning the number 'octave'. A1=442Hz(or 440Hz depending on country) is the
reference note.
For example,
C1 is the C(do) at the first line below the staff.
C2 is the C(do) at the 3rd space in the staff.
C3 is the C(do) at the 2nd line above the staff.
C4 is the C(do) at the 6th space above the staff.
Used samewise for other note E1,E2,E3,.....

I usually stay out of threads like this.
This also get very confusing for me, as all my music studies were done under European teachers and I've never been able to reconcile what I learned as a youth with what my sister (quite an accomplished amateur musician) calls the "American" system, which she doesn't fully understand either!
When people speak to me of C, D, E... I have to count Do, Re, Mi... Often on my fingers! (For shame!)
