Questions About the Built-in Dictionary

So, as a Kindle user whose native language isn't English, I occasionally face words that I don't recognize. This is where I refer to the built-in English dictionary (The American edition, but can change to the British edition if the author is British).

It might seem like the problem is solved, however it is not. 4 points that I need assistance with:

1. Is there a thesaurus? Sometimes it might prove to be more useful to use one instead of a plain dictionary.

2. Is there a way to "search for" the definition of a word you have in your mind, and is not written on the book itself?

3. How can you look up phrases? This can be as simple as searching for "watch out for" instead of the one-word "watch" (which have quite different meanings) and some sayings which can be longer.

4. How can you look up a word in the definition of another word?

Hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.
