And to answer some of your questions:
An unidentified item does work AFAIK.
Gems are good for selling to make some money.
You usually don't need any of the keys you accumulate throughout the game unless you need to come back to that area for some reason.
Ankhs are great items. Use them to raise your stats. Different ankhs raise different stats by 1 point (the description will tell you which 1 it will raise). You can only use it outside.
