Rooted Newbie...what is ADB and other questions

Sigh, I am so confused. I'm hoping I'm not the only one needing a few answers that may seem basic to others. I'm familiar with Android (have an unrooted Galaxy S Fascinate) but navigating things on the NC is pretty different.

I could really use a couple "dumbed down" explanations. I don't personally know anyone who can help me understand my great new rooted toy and I'm really trying to learn...

1. I keep seeing references to ADB in the forums. I found this link from nookdevs that looks very helpful if I should need it....but what is it for exactly? How do I know what commands to use?

2. Is there a way to close apps when in them without having to open Advanced Task Killer every time? I want to save my battery charge and not have things running in the background.

3. What is the "Superuser" App. There is one thing in there when I open it (Button Savior) but I've downloaded others...why aren't they there, too?

4. Is OI File Manager and Astro the same kind of app? I have both but I don't see the same content in OI under file hierarchy as in Astro. What's the difference? Recommendations?

5. Why does Astro have 2 of every picture file? File names start with ._file name and also just the name (these have the actual thumbnail by them).

6. I sideloaded Angry Birds (love that game). Do I need to worry about moving it?

7. There are some things I try to open or do but get a message saying I need Froyo 2.2 - is that something we can expect for the NC some day?

I realize that's a lot of information to ask in one post...thank you in advance.
