On the Customize page, click on 'Use custom HTML' under the Theme tab. You should find your theme's full codes on there. Try to flesh it out. It basically works like any regular web page except the Tumblr elements are put up using specific variables. I recommend looking through
this page. It should give you an idea on how to work with Tumblr pages.

Don't ask me, it's your layout! You come up with the design/concept yourself. Once it's done, that's when you start organizing the content.

Of course. You can move things around by putting the variables inside DIVs and giving them positioning attributes. You just need to use the correct ones according to which elements you want to put up. For example, if I wanted to put up a DIV that contains links of users I'm following, I'd use something like this:
CODE
<div style="position:absolute; top:#px; left:50%; margin-left:#px;">
{block:Following}
{block:Followed}
<a href="{FollowedURL}"><img src="{FollowedPortraitURL-40}" alt="{FollowedURL}"/></a>
{/block:Followed}
{/block:Following}
</div>
Again, refer to
this page for a full list of variables.

You can put the posts in a scrolling DIV if you wanted, it's all up to you.

IT CAN BE SET UP HOWEVER YOU WANT IT TO.
The 'Ads' section up top isn't necessary though. Tumblr doesn't put up advertisements on their pages, as far as I know. But ^that is fine.
