Good luck, Lpbreeze. I feel for you, and I wish I could answer your questions, but I am a novice official myself.
Maybe someone friendly will come along that can actually give you some directions instead of telling you to buy a map.

Your dad was right.
If this person really wanted to understand the rules of the game, if for example he were a novice official who wanted to get better, he would be best served by "Go look it up, son." Most of his questions are basic, and an official who took the court without knowing the answers would soon find himself in a bind. Not only that, he'd be letting the players down by not being ready to do the job for which he was hired.
If you are so novice that you don't know the answers to his questions, why don't you go look them up, post the references for the OP, and expand on my rudimentary answers. At the end of the day he'll still be just as clueless because he hasn't invested any actual effort of his own in learning the rules. But you'll be much better off for having done the homework.
