I don't understand

Ok, so I am from the Microsoft world...I know...please don't flame me.
Anyway, I don't understand the RPM technology or how it works. I
have installed several packages, but unlike an install with MS I have
no idea where to find it or even if it installed. So here are my
questions.

1. Once an RPM has run, where the hell is it?

2. Is there a way for me to force the RPM to place a shortcut on my
menu?

3. Are there a set of "must need" tools and utilities that I should
be using with Redhat?

Thanks everyone.
