You should book online through the Vatican's own website:

http://mv.vatican.va/3_EN/pages/MV_Home.html

Do be aware that the 'Vatican' encompasses multiple areas within its walls, and not all of it is open to visitors. Some parts can be done on one's own (the museums and basilica) and some others are only accessible with a tour. Reservations (tickets) for all parts which can be visited are available through the website.

The basilica is free so you just get into the security check line for that one, or book a tour of the museums which also includes the basilica: tours enter the church directly from a stairway at the back of the Sistine in the museums.

You cannot call to book the Vatican museums, you must use their website. It's very easy and fast. You can book tours or just entry tickets. Both allow you to bypass the lines and are date and time specific.

No, not for June yet. They become available about 60 days in advance of future dates.

The tickets are only released about 60 days out. Sometimes it's a few days more, sometimes less. Just keep checking the site.
