Answer 1

The best resource I found is Alan Storm's (our fellow stacker) series of blog posts which he calls Magento for PHP MVC Developers. He explains all the issues relating to magento development in much detail.

I think you'll also find this extension a great start: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/Daniel+Nitz/extension/1108/modulecreator. You can trawl through the code it creates to get a really good idea of the key pieces of the puzzle.

Also, review the Magento sequence diagram to understand important steps in the flow: http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/_detail/general/doc/page-request-flow.png?id=doc:magento-architecture&cache=cache
