Your questions appear to indicate that you don't yet completely
understand the approach used in Vorbis and since they are so broad
they are hard to answer.

You may find the following introductory material on vorbis useful:

http://faculty.washington.edu/edhong/523/slides/OggVorbis.ppt

There is a mostly reasonable diagram here:

(I'm sure some one else can provide some other useful more introductory links)

The decoder spec should include everything you need to know about the format:

If you could reduce your questions to a few specific points about the
introductory materials it would be easier for people to answer you.

Thank you for your interesting in Vorbis, and good luck with your studies!
