You don't really need to learn php and HTML unless you're considering creating your own pages and plugins although you should consider downloading something which gives you FTP access such as FileZilla. That's what I use, just upload everything to your main root directory and it should automatically sort itself out. If it doesn't then just correct install all files to the correct places using the ReadMe.txt files included with the plugins.

Check out this plugin:
Page Manager.
You mean the quick link text up on the top of your website showing the homepage/index, forums, search etc. Commonly known as quick access pages, this can be done by going to the Admin Control Panel > Templates & Style > Templates > <click on theme in use> Click on Header templates > Click on Header. You should now see something similar to this which shows numerous lines:
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help">Help</a></li>
That shows Help and it should display on the top of my website. If you would like to edit and add your own then it's simple enough. Just create a new line and copy one of the original ones and paste a duplicate. Upon doing that you can edit the text to your like.
Example: I'm going to create one which allows me quick access to my forums, this will be the template:
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/forums.php?action=Forums">Forums</a></li>
Just edit the main text. Hopefully this is what you're talking about and I'm not typing out for the sake of nothing. It's self-explanatory although at the beginning it can be slightly frustrating.

for example... i want one button that says hall of fame....when people click on it they see a page that says something like welcome to bla bla bla so on and so forth...how would i do that?
