When I unlock it I see the "Home Layout". Am I good so far?

Project:Teya uses its own lock screens. If you want to mess with the lock screen, you will want to change it under the Teya[Portal], not the CHTEditor. In fact, you will use Teya[Portal] to change all of the phone's settings except for the home screen (or tab) layout. That's when you'll want to use CHTE.

I think I get that I can add more pages to the left and right. Is the "circular" bit about added pages above and below? Is that what the Level-0, Level-1, Extra space, etc. stuff is about?

The home tab is, like you said, a bunch of pages attached to one another. I believe the default is 3x2, making it look like:
[][][]
[][][]
The default page (which is, by default, set to two) is the page that the phone will automatically go to when you go to the home tab. In the below diagram, it is the page with an asterisk.
[][*][]
[][][]
If I remember correctly, the number of pages is how many columns of pages you will have and the number of levels is how many rows of pages you will have, so the above example has three pages and two levels.
The "circle" function lets you swipe up on the top-most level and it will take you back to the bottom level. Also, swipe down on the bottom level to get back to the top.
I'm not sure what you mean by "extra space".

Because pages are rows, when you add quicklinks to one panel of a row, they go to all of them. There is a way to make the quicklinks exist on one page only, however. You will need to use the Independent Page Count. That will make it so that the quicklinks will be on one frame only, but then you can swipe left and right on the quicklinks, themselves, to go between their pages. In other words, you'll have multiple pages of quicklinks in one frame of the homescreen.
Free links are just that. Free. When you edit the home screen, you can drag and drop them anywhere without them being attached to anything. To get more, you just press and hold on the home screen in edit mode.
You can download more widgets (in a .cab form) from various places online, but widgets, free links, and quicklinks are the only things that can go on the home tab.

To control which tabs you would like to see, go to the settings tab via the slider, then Personalize, then Home screen tabs.

There are also two context related soft keys on the bottom. It's kind of cool, but where the hell did it come from?

I'm sorry, but this made me laugh so hard. That is Windows Mobile. Welcome! That is what your phone would look like if HTC and the dev community didn't edit it. To get back the Sense (which is the tabbed home screen), you'll want to go to all settings, home, the items tab, then click Sense. You'll then want to click the check mark at the bottom and it should launch Sense.
I hope that will help you. If your sense isn't launching automatically, I'm not sure how to fix that. Sorry. What I've told you should be able to get you on your way, though. Have fun!
