The REST API is enabled by default. You can try the different queries 
discribed under https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FEDORA35/REST+API.

Use the REST API (Metadata) or if you have a data stream like a pdf you 
can access it via link.

Yes, if you create a new object fedora will create the PID automaticaly 
for you.

Organize documents or object in a tree is also possible. Is up to you to 
organize the links between the objects using RELS-EXT (see 
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FEDORA36/Digital+Object+Relationships)

It will takes some time to understand how all works together. I would 
suggest you to use your own configuration and like we did, so you will 
get more familar with fedora. For example:

Installation type: custom
Fedora home directory: /opt/fedora
Fedora administrator password: <password>
Fedora server host: localhost
Fedora application server context: fedora
Upstream Auth: false
Authentication requirement for API-A: true
SSL availability: false
Servlet engine: existingTomcat
Tomcat home directory: /usr/share/tomcat6
Tomcat HTTP port: 8080
Tomcat shutdown port: 8005
Database: postgresql
Postgresql JDBC driver: /usr/share/java/postgresql-jdbc.jar
Database username: fedora
Database password: <Passwort>
JDBC URL: jdbc:postgresql://localhost/fedora
JDBC DriverClass: org.postgresql.Driver
Enable FeSL AuthN: true
Enable FeSL AuthZ (Experimental Feature): false
Policy enforcement enabled: false
Low Level Storage: akubra-fs
Enable Resource Index: true
Enable Messaging: true
Messaging Provider URI: vm:(broker:(tcp://localhost:61616))
Deploy local services and demos: true (Produktionsmaschine: false)

After this you can try different add ons, like solr and gsearch.
Hope this helps.
