It would probably be easy to see what causes what, if a complete page
were uploaded somewhere and you provided a link to it. There are so many
factors related to the source-code itself, that may turn any qualified
guess about CSS on its head - literally.

I have no idea how good that HTML reference is. The safest, although
time-consuming, is to read up on the latest HTML specs...
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/>

There are no dumb questions, as long as they are related to real world
use of CSS. (unless, of course, I'm the one asking them ;-) )

Your questions are just fine.

I think the best is to read the specs...
<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS1>
<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/>

...and then compare to how far the major browsers supports these specs...
<http://nanobox.chipx86.com/browser_support.php>

It is a "moving target" of sort, as support do get slightly better with
each new version they release.

IE6 isn't regarded as a good tool when we are designing. Since you are
on win you should rather download Opera and/or Firefox and work towards
those, and correct things in IE6 later. That will save you from a lot of
problems related to the weak and pretty shaky CSS support that IE6 has.

The rest is fine, I think. I don't use Dreamweaver, or any other editor,
in WYSIWYG mode, since editors, generally, are not good browsers.
