Here's your one-sentence tutorial. After entering the text, position the mouse cursor over an upper corner of its bounding box, hold Shift, and drag upward.

"More of this type" only you can judge. If you have not been there already, check http://www.psplinks.com and its links to 14,000+ tutorials. If you have a specific topic in mind, search there, and also with Google PSP + topic.

Yes and no.

All images are rectangular so you can't make an oval image. However, you can fake an oval image. You do this by making an oval selection in the image with the Ellipse Selection Type in the Selection tool or by drawing a vector ellipse and doing Selections > From Vector Object. After this you do Selections > Invert, which selects all the stuff outside the oval that you don't want. Now you can delete the contents of the selection to transparency by pressing the Delete key (after promoting the background layer) or use Flood Fill with a Match Mode of None to set it to the background color of your poster.
