Welcome.

Good. It's better to only use tables for tabular data from now on.

Centering a web page is not a problem. Something like...
#Table_01 {margin 0 auto 0 auto;}
...will work in all standard compliant browsers.
Positioning of layers is not a problem either. Making it look right when
text is involved, is another matter completely.
I won't go into the main part of your mail, as it is too time-consuming
to delve into without a real page.

No. Text zooming (or text resizing) can't be prevented.

If it can be done with tables, then it can be done with CSS. However,
few of us will use CSS to replicate a table-design, since that's a
pretty limited use of CSS.
Your page-example has a few serious errors - wrongly used style-elements
for instance, so it isn't very predictable across browser-land.
The lack of images also makes it quite useless as demo and testing-ground.
Thus, the first thing you should do is to upload something more complete
and make sure it at least passes the W3C validators without errors.
We may be able to help you a lot more, once we have a page to look at.
