I don't really know how it completely works. Is the converted mana cost equal to the casting cost in the card or the casting cost considering the reduced casting cost, for example: goblin warchief or affinity.

This one is really easy. The converted CC of a spell is the number printed on the card (Total casting cost, colorless + mana symbols) and is not effected by cost reducing effects. For example, lets say you have a Vial with 2 counters on it and a darksteel citadel (2 artifacts in play). A Frogmite in your hand would cost you 2 mana to play due to Affinity however you cannot vial the Frogmite in with an Aether Vial at 2 because its converted CC is 4.
