This page should be sufficient:
http://dlang.org/type.html
The complex and imaginary types will not be supported for long because
they will be replaced with library solutions in the future.

Static.

'struct' and 'class' with different capabilities. This page has a
comparison:
http://dlang.org/struct.html

Yes.

Static arrays have exact length.

Yes.
There is also associative arrays.

There are static (aka fixed-length) arrays and there are dynamic arrays.
The latter is also known as 'slice'.
No native support for multi-dimensional arrays but arrays of arrays (or
slices of slices) are multi-dimensional.
strings are slices of Unicode code units. Most common is the 'string'
type, which is nothing but a slice of UTF-8 code units, but strings can
be of UTF-16 and UTF-32 code units. strings are under "Special Array
Types" on this page:
http://dlang.org/arrays.html
There is also the following article that goes into details of slices:
