Ok... I'm still learning this stuff here, and I'm confused about one thing... Well, many things, actually, but only one thing that I'll ask about here.

During the tutorial I have to type "python manage.py runserver" in order to see my django pages in a web-browser. Obviously, I don't want to do this for anything but the tutorial... In fact, I don't even want to do this for the tutorial -- I have apache and mod_wsgi already running on this machine, so why won't those things just automatically serve up these django pages I'm creating? What more do I need to do to get apache and mod_wsgi to server my django pages?

Go right ahead. It is a good thing to do. But you still need manage.py runserver for development because it is specially designed to prioritise debugging over security and performance. By default it uses port 8000 so you can have Apache serve on port 80 or something else and have both servers running the same code for comparison of output at the same time. You enjoy the difference when Apache says "500" and manage.py runserver says where your code is awry.
