Web site is totally useless.

Testnet instructions are here: http://doc.tzalpha.net/introduction/alphanet.html

Best I can tell: smart contracts like Ethereum, except the protocol has means for amending the protocol itself? So, meta-Ethereum?

This article (Linda Xie) is pretty good: https://medium.com/@linda.xie/a-beginners-guide-to-tezos-c96...

Apparently they also already have proof of stake?

Thank god. Because the one thing Ethereum was missing was more complexity.

At least it uses OCAML and functional code instead of the EVM, for which even the Eth founders themselves can't write secure code.

And a much better language. Though it is hard to do worse than solidity. The consensus algorithm is pretty terrible though, but subject to amendment I suppose.
