In $\triangle ABC$, the sides opposite to angles $A$, $B$, and $C$ are $a$, $b$, and $c$, respectively. Given that $c\sin A= \sqrt {3}a\cos C$ and $(a-c)(a+c)=b(b-c)$, consider the function $f(x)=2\sin x\cos ( \frac {π}{2}-x)- \sqrt {3}\sin (π+x)\cos x+\sin ( \frac {π}{2}+x)\cos x$.
(1) Find the period and the equation of the axis of symmetry of the function $y=f(x)$.
(2) Find the value of $f(B)$.
