WOL = who's online, the stuff you see in the /online.php page, unrelated to templates.

You should know HTML/CSS and the MyBB template system before attempting to use XThreads.  PHP/Javascript knowledge is not required, but helpful.

b) Which new ones will be required?
The template names are listed in the tutorial, if the template doesn't already exist in MyBB, then it's new.
As a guide though, you'll notice most of the names are prefixed.  This means it's a new template, although it's based off a stock MyBB template.

There isn't a predefined set (see how the MyBB template system works).

You cannot define new variables in templates, normally at least.
