To address your questions, though I'm sure there are others who may have better answers.
You have the key concepts, content types and views. The frontpage could either be a custom "view" on a standard page or make use of a special system called "Collage" that composites content together. One of the collage guys is on this list I believe (Jens), so he will probably be happy to advocate for that approach.
