In the root folder create a DTML document called index_html and fill
it with DTML and HTML.  Then when you visit localhost:9673 the
contents of that page will be displayed.  

As for documentation, read the Zope Book -- it's excellent and you can
read it free online or download a PDF or buy it at most major
bookstores.  http://www.zope.org/Documentation/ZopeBook/.  Also, do
the online tutorial.  In the root folder or some subfolder in the
manager interface, choose Add->Zope Tutorial.  This is extremely
helpful and will introduce you to a lot of zope features.

My guess is very unlikely.  You should still contact them and ask for
it because if they get enough requests, they may become more
interested in providing this.  You can do a web search for managed
hosting in zope.  It would be easy to give you a folder and let you
run amok.  Check out free zope at http://www.nipltd.net/Free
