In my ground template I have very few materials. For example I have some bricks but no red bricks wich are very common to houses. 

How do I do if I want new materials? Is there anywhere I can download it? How do I get it work in the program?

You can download images off the internet and apply them as materials in the material library. Manage> Materials

But how about the scale. Will it be in correct scale? 

Is there no other way ?

Is this the correct place to put the texture image? How do I then add it to my wall in Revit?

Create different folders to different categories material like "Concrete", "Wood", Bricks" and so on...

In this way you can create your own library....
