Hey Man,
Welcome to ASP.NET.
A Solution is a "Grouping" of projects/files. Whenever you have a project, you will have a parent solution.
A Project (not a web applciation project) is a windows forms application.
A Website is a... well a website :P
A Web Application is a website that works like a project.
I've always worked with Web Applications becuase I like the project structure rather than the website model - but let's work with websites in this case.
You have your website.
Inside this website you have your .aspx pages, a web.config file, a bin folder and probably a few other items.
In your main .aspx file that you're working with you have controls that you dragged on.
When you right click on your .aspx file and pick "View Source" you will see the source code for that .aspx file. that "code behind" file will be able to reference the controls you added to your web form. Now, make sure those controls you've added are <asp /> controls (like <Asp:textbox /> <asp:droPDownList /> etc. ). if they are not asp controls you will not be able to interact with them unless you add a runat="server" and an ID="" to them.
example of an ASP.NET control:
<asp:textbox id="txtMyTextBox" runat="server" />
example of an HTML textbox:
<input type="text" value="" />
If I wanted my HTML textbox to be manipulated by code I'd need to do it as:
<input id="myTextBox" runat="server" type="text" value="" />

Missed your last question.
Easiest way - Zip it up and mail it, use a USBKey, create a VPN (Hamatchi has a great one for this which cuts through port 80). I believe there are some online solutions that allow you to "share" a folder online and you can get to it from any computer.
hope that helps.
