It's so exciting that you get to do extra work. That's something I've always thought would be fun, but unless I move to Vancouver or LA or NY or somewhere big, it's totally not gonna happen, at least for years, in which case it'd be more of a getting stationed in a big city, which doesn't happen much either...so...yeah. It resembles my pet dilemma.
It IS kinda fun. I enjoy it anyway. For the most part it's just a lot of sitting around being bored - but it's fun to see behind the scenes on a movie. :)
You could also move to Toronto! They have a lot of filming there too.
I don't know. This was a volunteer unpaid thing. I think most TVs don't film on the weekends, but movies might. You might have better luck asking an actual extra agency. I belong to one, and I just update my calendar with my availability - so, you could always sign up, and then just be prepared for the fact that you might not actually get called-up to do anything (or it'll be extremely rare.)

Can I ask - do extras agencies generally take on people who are available weekends only? It sounds like a fun thing to do.
