Some of your problems apparently are mouse-driven. I right click using my right click on the mouse, the scroll is my scroll wheel. New tab is Alt T or the plus sign on the Chrome tab bar. The maximize button on my browser is the far right button on the upper left corner. You can also customize your browser with where you want the button etc. The bottom menu acts as a quick launch bar and also a "force close" application so you never have to ctl-alt-delete to get to where you need to go. Alot of the shortcuts are the exact same as a PC.
I personally use a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard for my imac, so it operates just like a pc in my interaction with it. Where it performs easier is in things like storing files and having them be indexable and accessible without me having to point the damn system at the location of the file, it does it automatically. the iMovie questions are something that should be easy to figure out since the Mac is the premiere system to do video and graphic editing on. It sounds like they just have their Macs set up in a very basic way or just a strange set up.
The issue with this, is that it isn't enabled by default. You have to go into the system preferences to enable it. It's not something obvious for those unfamiliar with Mac OS.
