Minimap

This one should be somewhat easy if I'm right. Would there be an easy way for me to draw a black box onto one corner of the screen, then calculate the locations of different units and put a colored dot on the black box relative to the realspace location of the unit? (Obviously to from a minimap)

I don't exactly know how to draw onto the screen like that.

You can use IVideoDriver's draw2d methods or you can use the drawPrimitive methods.

You should make yourself familiar with the documentation.
