Gary, This is a fairly broad request so I'll try to help. First thing though is to read through the help guide in MLO and refer back to it as needed.
For your questions: 1. The Outline and "To Do" on the left side are views. You can see the whole outline and subsets of the outline i.e. projects, goals,etc. The ToDos are filtered views of items in the outline. The way it works is you populate the outline and then get your specific action lists (To Dos) that are filtered. You can filter by context @home, @computer, etc. to get specific lists. 2. Your AoF go in the outline itself as either Top level parent tasks or Top level folders with nested folders/tasks under it. So you could have AoF Home with subsections of Home projects, Outside, garage, vehicles, etc. 3. The horizontal tab on the top are customized workspaces where you have saved filtered views to quickly get the the information in your outline or To Dos easily. I have workspaces for Work, Personal, Projects, Finances, Overdue tasks, due today, and others. You could very easily create HoF views in different workspace tabs based on your customized views. 4. Most people don't keep references in MLO as its more a task management program. You can keep references in there as a folder-type task as a sub-task under the outline AoF section. Other options are to keep references in another app like Evernote or OneNote. You can create links to those apps and same them in the MLO notes section, that's what I do. Hope this helps.
