Sure.  For starters, if you haven’t already, I recommend doing C-h t and
reading and working through the built-in Emacs tutorial, whose main
purpose is to teach the most important commands and key bindings in
Emacs.  I would also recommend looking through (info "(efaq)"), the GNU
Emacs FAQ.  Some of your questions may have already been answered there!
In particular, check out (info "(efaq) Learning how to do something")
describing various methods for out how to do things in Emacs.

Then, I would recommend skimming through and reading at least parts of
(info "emacs") (the ‘GNU Emacs Manual’) as well as (info "Elisp") (the
‘GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual’).

I recommend browsing through the EmacsWiki at https://www.emacswiki.org.
It’s an incredible collection of resources for Emacs users of all levels
of expertise and experience.  Its front page alone has too many awesome
links for me to copy here into this message :).  Searching through the
web for keywords from your question and/or the task you’re trying to
achieve may also yield useful results and help you discover new things.

You may also want to check out external Emacs packages not included in
Emacs but still *very* useful nevertheless.  For learning and finding
things, I’ve found which-key [1] and helpful [2] to be great tools when
I’m looking for a definition or wanting to peek at its implementation.

And last but not least, don’t hesitate to ask for help :).  We all get
overwhelmed at one point or another in this journey, but it’s helpful to
remember that there are lots of awesome people in the community who’d be
happy to help; be it in the mailing lists, like help-gnu-emacs, or IRC
channels, like #emacs and #emacs-beginners.
