Okay so first off, let me address your second question. I think what you are trying to do is run a LAN server, which is not an actual server.

https://minecraft.net/download

Go there, click the one which is the actual server(minecraft_server.1.7.2.exe) and run that.

Also, to disable creepers, you'll need a server plugin like bukkit, but how to work that is outside of my knowledge.

Good Luck! May the Lord be with you.
