The answers to all your questions (except the last) are contained in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4. This might seem like a rather short and harsh response but it is a fact that you MUST follow the book exactly (verbatim) if you are to succeed in building the lfs system. This is especialy true if you are not experienced with Linux and the command line.... and your last question suggests that you fall into this category. ../some_command refers to the command named some_command in the directory above the current directory.
