I don't think it's easy to make a recursive navigation with taglibs; you 
should better your own navigation.
You will find an example here: http://www.jahia.com/~pol/getpagesubtree.txt
In this example you just have to call getPageSubTree( jData , homePageId, 
homePageId, 1, pageContext);

For the template edition, I use to create a static HTML file with a HTML 
editor like Dreamweaver.
Then I split the html file and I add my JSP/taglib code with a simple text 
editor like Ultraedit.

You will find some doc about the Jahia tagLibs on the Draft section 
http://www.jahia.org/jahia/Jahia/devzone/doc/pid/443

Yes you can mix taglibs without problems.

Please read the draft Jahia 4.0 Template Guide. You will get more 
informations there.

Yes you can deploy several templates set on the same site.

Best regards,
