Sorry for all the noob stuff. I swear I know what I'm outside of here. My problem is my base knowledge is VB.net syntax. If I really new C# or C++, the LUA syntax would look better to me (I think). That and I'm self taught.

The colon is syntax sugar.
function A:f(b,c,d) is equal to function f(self,b,c,d)
In both case is self the instance the method is called for.
So, if you save a reference of a function declared like A:f(b) it must be handled as f(self, b):

local GetJournalQuestInfo_Orig = QuestMaker.GetJournalQuestInfo
function QuestMaker:GetJournalQuestInfo(questIndex)
-- Implicit created variable self, because of the colon syntax.
GetJournalQuestInfo_Orig(self, questIndex)
end

Which is the same as:

local GetJournalQuestInfo_Orig = QuestMaker.GetJournalQuestInfo
function QuestMaker.GetJournalQuestInfo(self, questIndex)
GetJournalQuestInfo_Orig(self, questIndex)
end

Which is the same as:

local GetJournalQuestInfo_Orig = QuestMaker.GetJournalQuestInfo
QuestMaker.GetJournalQuestInfo = function(self, questIndex)
GetJournalQuestInfo_Orig(self, questIndex)
end
