Dear Joe, your questions are very detailed, I don't have time to give a full answer but I can give you some pointers to get started:
-1- mysql support in geoserver is suboptimal. People in the geospatial world tend to use postgresql or oralce (or sql server). You could use geoserver on top of postgresql with foreign data in mysql. No idea how robust that is, you might want to try the mysql extension first -2- geoserver reads by default flat tables with geometries. Such table can be a view in the DB or a view in geoserver (http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/database/sqlview.html) so you can have geoserver access existing table or views -3- geoserver can then spit out raw data (via WFS) or maps (via WMS) You might need to dig a bit more, but this should get you started.
