Default Snap pea fall planting?

I finally have a home and am new to gardening. I broke up the soil along
a chainlink fence and planted snap peas this spring. Other than watering
them a few times when first planted and tying them back up after they lost
their grip during storms, they have been easy, and tasty with vegetable
dip.

The plants have now yellowed (would watering help or would the heat get to
them anyway?). So I collected and dried a bunch of the mature peas. Is
that all I need to do to get seeds for a new crop of the same peas?

I heard snap peas could be planted for a fall crop. When is the best time
to do that in northern Illinois, early September?
