It does use ant behind the scenes, but takes care
of it installation itself. As well as of your
dependencies

That's really non-trivial question. I would suggest to
start with something more simple. 

Mevn projects are typically one-artifact-per-project
So you could be forced to break up your project into 
several pieces - for ejb tier and for web tier. 
And thenb build them using reactor. 

Do'nt be affraid, I managed to move almost all
development in our company to maven.
