Once I purchase a PUT Option then I see the price of the option being shown on the chart [good] but I don't see anything reflected in the open position as trade -> orders.. is that just because I'm running this under sim1 account?

To verify, at any point in time, and I want to execute the option then I simply buy or sell it as the need arises??

Will the result of the sale be shown in the trades; if so what will it look like.

There is no doc in sierrachart for this

The "Orders" window shows both simulated and non-simulated orders.

Keep in mind that if you do not have any attached orders, then the Market Order will show, but it will show as "Filled". And keep in mind that the "Orders" window is transient, so once an order is filled or removed, it will only stay in that window for a short time. Refer to the information at the following link:
Trading Information Windows: Trade Orders Window

Yes

Yes. Refer to the following:
Trade Activity Log: Trades Fields Descriptions

We do not have an image of the "Trades" tab of the Trade Activity Log in our documentation, but here is an image of what it would look like:
