I've been using emacs for few weeks and it's been great so far - coming from vim was easier than I expected (actually - emacs' keyboard shortcuts feel more... natural).
I have added few customizations like moving between buffers using M-Left/Right/Up/Down because C-x o felt a little bit too slow when I had four files opened at once.
So far - so good :-)
One thing bugs me though:
C-x 3 and C-x 2 M-x term ENT Usual shortcuts obviously don't work - terminal is intercepting every emacs command, and I have to click on different buffer to activate it.

Pressing Alt-F12 opens a window listing the buffers, and you can press Enter on a buffer name to go to that buffer. Or, press F12 (next) or Shift-F12 (previous) to cycle through the buffers.
Use ctrl-w N to switch to "terminal-normal mode", which will let you navigate around. It could be useful to then copy content to the clipboard. Then return to regular terminal mode, simply type i just like how you'd enter insert mode from a regular window. ctrl-w : will open command mode like in regular Vim.
To move between the buffers, type C-x b. Emacs shows you a default buffer name. Press Enter if that's the buffer you want, or type the first few characters of the correct buffer name and press Tab. Emacs fills in the rest of the name.
In term-mode, any regular C-x whatever keybinding becomes C-c whatever instead.

I'm not sure I understand your question. If you run M-x terminal, most of the key events are sent to the underlying terminal, so the standard C-x o binding and your M-Left are not available in the terminal.
Try using M-x shell to get a shell in one of the windows, and the navigation bindings you set up should still work.
