100% all natural and contains no additivesHas many horticultural uses such as soil amendment and mushroom casingGuaranteed to be fresh and on time
No fertilizer. I give mine a very light dose a few times a year but they eat insects because they grow in climates with poor soil.
Depends on where you live. In Boston tap water was fine, in Houston tap water kills them. It's the softness of the water that matters. Distilled is always a safe bet.
I repot every plant I bring home. What to pot it in depends on how dry your house is and the amount of light. These plants want to stay damp ( not soaking )
Soil is fine if you can find it with out pre-added fertilizer. Peat moss is better, sphagnum moss is better still. The import part is that is has no fertilizer pre-added. I've been buying supplies off Amazon because I can't find them locally.

First, welcome to the subreddit and the hobby! I will try to answer all of your questions, but if I miss something let me know. If anyone wishes to correct any of my advice go for it.
I believe your current soil should suffice for the time being. Many plants do not enjoy having their roots disturbed, so it is probably best to leave them be and replant them later. For the flytraps I would say this would be the tail end of next season's dormancy, and for the sundews, probably at least 4 months.
Your sundews are D. spatulata (I could be wrong on this one) and D. capensis; both are tropical, and will be fine staying inside year round, but you may wish to get a grow light (usually some sort of fluorescent fixture) for a more permanent setup.
The flytraps are a bit different. They will miss their dormancy this season, which is okay. You can put them in a cool windowsill, or just leave them, but I would not advise putting them outside at this point. If you have the outdoor space where they would get sun, they should probably be moved outside sometime in the early spring after the last frost (depends on your location/climate); if you plan on keeping them indoors, artificial light will probably be necessary, and I or someone else can help with that aswell. If they attempt to flower this year, it would probably be wise to chop off the flower stalk.
As a side note, for when you wish to repot the plants, a good soil mix is a 1:1 ratio of peat moss to perlite (or some people prefer sand). You can purchase peat moss from Lowes or Amazon and perlite from Amazon. The main thing is to make sure that whatever you buy has no additives or fertilizers; an example of something to avoid would be miracle grow perlite. If you live in a region where neither of these stores are an option, I'm sure we can find somewhere that you can purchase soil.
