Answer

The chinese radical table, that's what you may need to check out ^^ and don't forget the writing orders, that's important as well.

Answer

Hi Laura, the best way to get a hand on to Chinese characters is to understand radicals which are key to their meaning. I would recommend a book:  Chinese Characters by Leon Weiger. It is available on Amazon. The book is classic one and handy guide to anyone looking for Chinese characters analysis.

Answer

The chinese characters have some different structure，such as left-right （亻+ 二  = 仁）、up-down（田+ 心 = 思），and so on。I suggest you can memorize the simple characters，like left-左，right-右，up-上，down-下，sun-日、moon-月，big-大，small-小，much-多，few-少。Maybe，we can make a friends to prcatice the language more often。
