If I want to write "welcome to [place]" in German, how do I know which preposition to use in between? Are there any general rules?
Also, when do you use "wilkommen" and when do you use "wilkomme"?

always use wilkommen, as far as i know.
as for the preposition, it depends on what type of place it is. it's usually "in", though..

theres no german word "wilkomme". in some areas people might pronounce "wilkommen" as "wilkomme" tho, coz thats their dialect.

hobbes is right, you need the double l.
like in: Willkommen zu XLTronic, der Seite im Netz, die nicht hält was sie verspricht (Zumindest wenn man gespendet hat).

pigfarmer gave you the formula, but re your original question number 2, Willkommen is the plural PLUS the formal singular, so you DEFINITELY want to use that. When you welcome people, you usually welcome a bunch of people, or at any rate want to be polite. Germans shun Du-forms.
Maybe someone like Vin Diesel could say in a film to the bad guy, right before blasting his head off: "Willkomme zur Hölle, Arschloch!"
