What happens to the wand / scroll if you fail your UMD check? I don't see any mention of it on the SRD. do you actually waste the spell (it fizzles), or do you just waste your turn?

Only scrolls do: Scroll Mishaps (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/scrolls.htm#scrollMishaps)

Well, normally nothing. Scrolls can fail, if you fail by 10 or more.

Items that you fail to activate and roll a nat 1 on will lock you out for 24 hours.
