Answer 1

Mainly your documentation-source would be the official Zimbra Wiki. In order to extend / modify Zimbra you need to get the source and setup your dev env according the docu.

To modify the web client, you have to look into /zcs-src/ZimbraWebClient and yes, Zimbra uses Java Script. Take a look at tutorials for Zimlets creation (for example) to get started.
