That is, if have I one book, and one set of preface/chapters/colophon within that book is the first level of TOC the title of the TOC and second level the chapters? Or does first and second level not apply?

Just leave the textbox for level2- and level3-toc empty or if converting by command-line, just don't use these two options. By default, Calibre only makes a level1-toc, anyway.

Actually, this bit is hard. That's why most people use third-party tools such as Calibre to convert from HTML/CSS to ePUB, etc. Theoretically, you should be able to create an ePUB file using just a text editor and a zip utility, but how many people do you know actually do that? Most of the "complexities" are handled by the conversion tool so for the most part, you wouldn't have to. I find trying to work within html2epub's boundaries to be much easier than creating the ebook by hand and having to figure all these readers'/devices' (not so) little idiosyncracies.
