Exactly.
What you're looking for is HTML. (and more like PHP, maybe even MySQL)
Scratch is just a simple guide to get started with programming. You can't expect it to do everything. That's why there are more languages than the simple Scratch. Learn other ones if you want.

Well, there's not necessarily any easy way to do that, and some of it isn't really possible.
You can use the ask blocks to ask the user to enter information and store it, and you could make some sprites with some scripts to act as radio buttons. (There's no easy way to do that though like in HTML.) However, you can't save data to an external database, which is I believe the main thing you're looking for. Sorry.
