What is the name of the blessing that ends shabbat?
Shabbat ends of its own accord at the time a bit after sunset on Saturday night. Nothing that mankind does can either extend it or cause it to end. Those who observe the Shabbat can only mark its beginning and its end as they occur. The brief ceremony and set of blessings that mark the very end of shabbat are known as "HAHV-da-LAH", meaning "division" or "boundary" in Hebrew. It marks the boundary between holy and weekday-like. The moment is considered to be a let-down.

When do the Shabbat candles get lit?
It is forbidden to light or extinguish a flame during Shabbat. For this reason, you would not blow out the Shabbat candles. You would let them burn our themselves. There are Shabbat candles specially made for this that will burn for about 3-4 hours, a perfect amount of time to stay lit during dinner, but allow you to go to bed without worrying about leaving a lit candle.
What are the candles for in shabbat?
There is no Biblical reason, but it is a custom, as a symbol to 'remember' the significance of Shabbat, and to 'keep' the laws of Shabbat, which are two things the Torah tells us to do on the seventh day of each week.
