Right. So far so good.

Yes, that's the most common use for tags. If you've decided that the
state of trunk right now is going to be called "version 1.0" of your
software, then you would copy it to a new tag called 1.0:
$> svn copy \
svn+ssh://svn.server.somewhere/path/to/project/trunk \
svn+ssh://svn.server.somewhere/path/to/project/tags/1.0 \
-m "Tagging trunk as 1.0"
Tags are explained in the book:

Yes, that's what the book calls a feature branch, one of the common
uses for branching:

(That's kind of in the middle of the chapter and it refers to things
earlier in the chapter, so you may want to start reading at the top
of the page.)
