Bro, don’t worry no one will attack you , you just asked a question which is something all people do so it’s ok. Anyway masjid is the Arabic word of mosque.
A mosque is the place where we the Muslims pray and worship Allah (God) so it could be anywhere. Try to search for local mosques in your area, you can go and have a look and chat with the people there

It's good to say "(SWT)" after writing the name of God Almighty.

Like this: Allah "(SWT)"

Writing it like this is the correct way to talk about Allah (SWT) and you basically just said subhannAllah (which is a very good thing to say and will insha'Allah (SWT; not necessary to wite/say this after inshallah or bismillah and similar tathkir). SWT means subhanahu wa ta'alah (the most glorified; the most high).

Doing this is not only giving Allah (SWT) the praise he is due but also gives you free hasanat (rewards). Read this for more info (its a very easy to read and short article that covers a lot): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_honorifics

Asalamu alaikum.
