First, welcome to CA. To answer some of your questions:

 

You keep running into a download limit because of your member status (New Member). This status increases with posts/participation with the community, or by purchasing a subscription. There is or was a sticky on maximum download rate by status, but I have no idea where to find it right now.

 

.RAR files are compressed files designed to work with WinRAR, but can also be read and opened with 7-Zip, which is a free compression/decompression program. Everything you need to add to make the addon work is found int the .RAR or .7z file, unless specifically noted (like for some campaigns or missions).

 

For information on adding planes and modding the sim, go to the Knowledge Base under the ThirdWire section, it's covered pretty in-depth.
