1) Preset quality settings based on the author's idea of what suits those types of clips. Flat describes areas of single colour or very little shade variation (think warner cartoons) while complicated is either more realistic CGI or normal film.
2) Don't know- look up the manual
3) Ditto
4) If progressive, use Zigzag, if interlaced use Alternate
5a) Don't know - see 2)
5b) For non-4:3 footage. If you are frameserving to CCE, then this doesn't matter.
6) You really don't know much about this stuff, do you. Why did you buy such an complicated encoder if you have no idea at all about video ? Look up progressive and interlaced in the Glossery (to your left) to see the difference. Monochrome - black and white (generally).
7) CCE is designed for encoding in professional houses. When encoding to get the very best quality, you should have different settings for different parts of the film. Mpeg does not like fades, and requires a higher bitrate than it might in other scenes. Sometimes multi-pass VBR encoding handles this OK, often it needs a hand. You use the TC list on the left to tell CCE what section to apply these settings to. In the case of a fade, you can tell it what type of fade, and it uses built in optimising to improve the output.

Honestly, unless you are prepared to put in a lot of effort and time reading, you are better off getting something like tmpgenc express to begin with. Leave CCE until you understand just what you are doing.
