Becoming a Jedi takes time, even to reach Force Sensetive takes many weeks, months for a recreational gamer. It's best not to go there until you have played the game a while. I have been playing for approaching a year, and I am just going after this now.
And yes, pick up multiple starting professions, they are fairly cheap and you can drop them later. Try them all and see if you are interested in one particular or a combination.
Also, go for an elite or hybrid profession, smuggler is fun, as are many others, and they usually have more content than the starting ones.

You can do that if you want, just make sure to surrender back the novice skills you don't find useful or you'll eventually run out of Skill Points (to surrender skills use control+S and select the skills you want to dump and click on the 'surrender skill' button). If your first goal is to make a lot of money, the best two ways I know of are either become a medic and grind your way up to master doctor so you can apply enhancement buffs in exchange for credits, or reach an elite combat profession (for marksman these would be pistoleer, carbineer, rifleman, etc.) and join a large "solo group" (a bunch of players who group together in order to recieve higher payouts for missions) on planets like dantooine or dathomir.

Tab autotargets, and you can set "attack" to one of your toolbar slots. Also, there is a macro somewhere on the boards.

what you are experiencing is most likely not lag... it would be that you don't have enough ram 768+ are recommended for optimal use... but you should go to the ctrl+o and disable all eh fancy graphics... you have to have a super computer to run that...

Lol, you cant attack any other player at will, that would stink. Having a buffed, melee person attacking a master armorsmith. 
Only overt members of opposite factions can attack each other w/o duels.

The green paint is a permanent tatoo that only an image designer can change.
As for what to do with your 30k: Buy some armor (bone armor might be useless, since it is not that good). Mabari is good, look on the bazaar. Try looking planetwide, as you will get more options.
Also, buy a new weapon. To check what weapons you can use, check the certifications box at the bottom left of the skills box (ctrl + s).
Are you on Shadowifre? I'd be willing to help you and give you some advice. 
And the force stuff... don't worry about that now, it takes a LONG time to get to jedi, at least 6 months from starting a noobie character.

"why is my charecters face green why cant i remove this paint"
If I disable texture baking in the launchpad, my characters face and some other characters faces turn green. This has been called the zombie effect in the past, I believe. If you look closely it is a low quality image of a couple of solid green trees and shrubs against a very green/blue sky.

I wouldn't advise AFK combat, as it annoys a lot of players.
One of the best tips - and it seems so few people do it, from what I've read here - is to always have your overhead map on. That way, when creatures spawn, you can see them. Granted, this doesn't help with auto-targetting, but it makes life much easier when you're fighting.
The only way you can really get "auto-attacks" without getting into the grey area of "macro-grinding" is if you're standing on top of a spawn point where Faction-based or aggressive NPCs/creatures spawn. For example, find a Meatlump camp and stand in the middle of it. If your Thug Faction is low, they'll attack you and you'll fight back.
As for using the Force, that's a long and fairly complicated process, requiring you to complete a number of missions/themeparks. That said, once you get a bit handy with your weapons, you should try the Jabba's Palace themepark, as it's great fun and has some great rewards. Don't be put off that the first thing you have to kill is a Tusken Captain - he's actually the toughest MOB you'll encounter in the whole themepark. The best tactic to deal with him is to get a vehicle/mount, get within combat range, hit him with a bleed and then Peace and ride away, hitting Peace as you go. Providing you don't go too far away and your bleedshot was successful, he'll continue taking damage. Keep popping back and hitting him a few more times and you'll eventually finish him off.
