I am not sure which to use?

When a transaction is attempted
When a transaction is completed

Is there points to watch for on either of them?

If I have one item for sale and someone adds an item to the cart but abandons it, using "When a transaction is attempted" is the item added back for sale at all?

The transaction attempted option gives your customers a bit more time to checkout. This ensures then the product is not over sold. The order is then stored in the PHP Session data and will automatically clear out at whatever time your server is set to.

How do I find out what it is set too? or do I need to contact my hosting company for that?

You would need to contact them to find that information.
