Can i stay if my h4 is denied and appeal is pending since 6 months?

The rule is that illegal presence does not accrue for individuals on F-1 status unless they have either received a denial from U.S.C.I.S. or an order from the immigration judge. In your case, you received a denial from U.S.C.I.S. on March 25, 2012, and appear to have have accrued illegal presence ever since. The exception would be if the H-4 denial acknowledged that you were still maintaining your F-1 status. Failing that, you should stay and wait for the results of your motion to reopen or reconsider (would not be an appeal since change of status applications are non-appealable) since you are already past the time that it would make any sense for you to leave the US. Having accrued illegal presence for over a year, you would be barred from returning to the country for 10 years if you now left. It also appears from your fact pattern that you have a fairly good chance of winning your motion.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

If I am a US citizen, can I sponsor my mom to get a green card?

Immigration reform is not law. The bill will remove the 4th preference (brothers) and not the immediate category that you are inquiring about.

What is the first step and what form do I need to apply for a green card?

If she is only your girlfriend, you cannot petition her. You will need to marry her and after you are married, you will need to file an I-130 and I-485 to begin the process. There may other options for her to immigrate depending on her education, background, etc. I suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your girlfriend's situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze her case, advise you of her options and, if possible, make sure that the necessary paperwork and documentation is presented so as not to delay the process.
