Read thru quite a bit of this thread and one thing I am worried about is that I don't have very much live experience and seems like many players can get pretty upset with newer players is this a valid concern?
No, there isn't any animosity specifically because you are a new player, in fact you will likely find players pretty friendly and welcoming. Most player who get upset will get upset for reasons that they will direct at anyone,(standard " how can you play that hand , etc) but for the most part its really a calm room to play in.

Trial and error? and just let it roll off my back?
Watch
come in without the intent on playing, look for the game/limit that you are interested in and watch until you are comfortable with how things work.
Ask any one of the floor people/dealers( who aren't in the box dealing) any questions you might have. The board people are helpful to a point but may not be able to answer specific questions, find a floor or dealer. When you are comfortable then take a seat.

Health code prohibits outside food or drink, that said, it happens but don't be surprised if you get called on it. I expect they will be getting more stringent.
There are raked and time games.
Raked games( less than 20/40 limit to include 2/3 and 3/5 spread games) are also bad beat jackpot eligible games
Time games ($7 per 1/2 hour, 20/40 limit and up to include 5/5 5/10 spread games) are not bad beat Jackpot eligible.
"Better"...hmmm, depends? but there is no choice depending on which limit you play, you either play in a raked game or a time game.
