Moving this to server-side scripting.

Do you have pre-made scripts that you need installed? or are you asking how to program these scripts from scatch?
I'm sure you could find something at http://hotscripts.com that would come close to what you need.

If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.

Don't despair, you're in the right place!
A tell-a-friend script basically just emails whomever is put in the form, right? You can connect it to a db and track/record the emails as well (though you MUST reveal this in a privacy agreemnt). Make the form, then submit it to a script that will mail the information. Check out mail(); at php.net and read the comments for help. You'll probably want to investigate form validation as well.
The opt-in/opt-out scripts will be more complicated, but again, start with the forms, then you can script them. Figure out what functions you want to have, and for this, you'll need a database to keep track.
Adding them into the database isn't hard, and once in, in order to opt-out, they should be able to enter their email address and press a button and maybe go through a confirmation page and ta da! Delete that record from the database.
Now wait and watch and people who know a LOT more than I do about it will tell you all the pieces I forgot to mention.
