C-h v variable-name RET is usually a good way to find out what kinds
of values it can take. M-x customize-variable RET variable-name RET
will help you enter things correctly, too.

M-x apropos RET keyword RET can help you find the appropriate variable
or function to use. For example, I found out about
buffers-tab-filter-functions using M-x apropos RET tab RET.

Very much so. If you want, you can get started with Emacs Lisp
programming. That way, you can experiment with your editor! =)
