* How can I use amanda without a tape drive (didn't buy one by now but I'd like to start testing asap) - Is that smart to do so even, or should I first invest money and then test?

'man amanda', and look at the section regarding the FILE driver.

* I do understand the concept of "Not making a full backup every friday" but I didn't quite understand how, if amanda takes care about when all of this is done, I do find out when the last fullbackup was (or if that kind of thinking even applies to amanda).

'man amadmin', specifically 'amadmin find'.
