OK, so you have the module installed, good! So each shipping module will have two important methods, 'valid' and 'cost'. The valid method returns a boolean indicating if that module is a valid shipping module given the parameters of the order. So for you, you would need 2 modules, one based on the tiered shipping, one based on the flat shipping. In each 'valid' method you simply write some code to determine if the order is foreign or domestic. The 'valid' method passes in the order as a parameter, so you can get the details from that object instance. Only modules returning True will be displayed and used as a shipping method to the user.
For the pricing, your 'cost' method will handle that, the flat international will be easy, the domestic will be based on the tiered module already existing in Satchmo. You set up the tiering in the admin page.
