As for the URL, it uses (inline) javascript and doesn’t actually care about the href—a really stupid design decision, since it bounces you around (sends you back to /) if you have javascript off. But then, much of the site is kindof broken in that case.
Javascript is a required browser feature of the site. Its needed for most interaction (as opposed to just clicking around and reading) and to load the side bar.
An FAQ/user guide for the site is needed. In its absence the Reddit help is mostly applicable.
Javascript is only “needed” for basic functionality because that’s the way the site has been designed. It could have been designed to degradegracefully, in which case everything would work perfectly fine without Javascript, with the exception of a few extra page reloads being required.
Indeed—another thing for the nonexistent FAQ.

Thinking about this more I decided to make a start on an FAQ/user guide on the wiki.
