Does vim have a way to split the view window?

Yes.

:sp with no argument will split within the same file.
:sp filename will split the pane between two files.

What I'd like to do with a long document is to be editing in one place in the document while viewing a different part of the document.

Easy enough.

Bonus question: Can the split be adjusted so that my editing pane has either more or fewer lines than the other pane?

ctl-W, + and ctl-W, - adjust the size of the current pane.

Another: Can I switch easily from one pane to the other for editing? (basically so that I can cut from one pane and paste to the other)

ctl-W, ctl-W moves to the next pane.

Super bonus question: Is there a way that I can google this sort of info from some web-based super man page?

Probably. Not that I know of it though!
