Gonna be tough for you to start BG2 w/o BG1 XP. BG1 starts out with a "tutorial" in town that teaches you all the basics. If you want to use BG2, you're going to have to REALLY read the manuals.

Anyway, for attacking you just need to click your characters "portrait" to select him/her, then move the mouse on the red circle of the enemy and then click when the sword appears. To attack a non-hostile (blue circle) you click a "portrat" , you will see a sword icon on the bottom, click that or double click a weapin on the bottom. Your cursor will turn from "chat" to "sword" and you can attack.

You NPCs attack automatically becuase they have the default script set, which is attack enemies on site.

Also bear in mind if you've got artificial intelligence enabled and your char is a mage they might just be 'standing around' waiting their turn to cast a spell and it might seem like they're doing nothing. I do that all the time, it gets Anomen mad, tee-hee!

Hmmm. Just set you character's AI on to something like ranged. He or she will fire ranged at any attacker, and then switch to melee if/when they get close.
