I find that i am able to sing out but every so often I go off key.
1. How do I fix that
2. How do I hear that I go off and then How do I get back on key during?

When you sing you will hear a ringing (if you are singing with an instrument or another singer.) depending on how it rings let you know if you are hitting the right note or not.

I am sorry I can not help any more (someone will probably come tell you a better way to tel if your off or not) but I am learning how to sing myself.

i know this is an old thread, but i've been working on this a bit myself lately.

I set up a track of guitar or piano or whatever that i'm going to sing with and i put it through my headphones, which i then also feed my microphone through, basically setting up an in ear monitor (IEM) system.

If you've sung and then moved to floor wedge monitors and noticed how much easier it is to stay on pitch, it's an even bigger move with IEMs, I highly recommend it.

I think part of the reason it works is that if you run 'em you hear how you actually sound, not how you think you sound, so you can fix the pitch when you start to drift off. It also explains why everyone uses phones in the studio, and most touring bands are moving to IEM as well (though there are other reasons that IEM > * > wedges as well
