1. At the top there are four different modes. In order, they are vertices, edges, faces and objects. Many things are best to be done with faces, but the others usually come in handy. Try some experiments such as making things like a cube for example, then deselecting everything (usually space bar) and select one face. Try extruding, intruding, scaling, smoothing... You get the point. I learned from just randomly trying things.
Also, deselect everything and right click. Then click material. You can then make a material and add it to any face that you want colorful.
