The window resizing is slightly different and better imo than regular wm. By default mouse can only interact with the contents of the window, but holding windows key (mod4) makes mouse interact with the window itself. If you hold windows and left-click, you will drag the window around. If you hold windows and right-click, awesome will grab the closest corner of the window to mouse location and let you resize the window via that corner.
You can call whichever external programs you create shortcuts for. There are two types of spawning, spawn the program directly (most gui programs will fall into this category) or spawn a terminal and then spawn a command inside of it (this is your scripts and vim and stuff). I also have kupfer mapped to windows+space and I use that as my spawn manager. By default awesome uses windows+space to cycle between tiling layouts (and windows+shift+space to cycle backwards), which I changed to windows+pgup and windows+pgdn, respectively.
