You're obviously serious about improving your game. That's great, we all need goals. Here's the problem with pretty much each and every one of your questions: They could all be turned into book titles. Here's a thought, save some money to take a lesson with a real coach and as part of the "interview" process ask a few questions or just take a lesson (Skype maybe?)and ask away. If you want a forum discussion though, try posting just one question at a time, and someone will bite...
I have been tackling sicilian theory myself
and I only got see one way to do it! Slowly. one bite at a time.
I find it interesting that you are SO interested in the najdorf. there are many other open sicilians, and the Naj has a reputation for being really, really hard to play as black.
so how much time and effort have you spent trying to figure out what ELSE black might play.
its not just the "dragon" and the "najdorf"- there are many other options...
