You may be confused, since no one will be building marines past like minute 3 at the latest. Also people will be more aggressive in general, I believe(although I haven't watched SC2 TvT in a long time).
But i should, in general, be able to understand the gist of whats going on, even if i'm unfamiliar with broodwar units/builds, right?
if you don't, feel free to ask, we're ready to help you with anything you are having trouble with

Hopefully! I started with BW, so I can't say for sure. You're going to have a lot less information on the screen(there's no supply counter or upgrade tab or etc). If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the thread, though.

sure!
tvt in bw is played mostly with mech so units you'll be seeing the most are tanks, vultures (analogous to hellions but with mines), dropships and wraiths (very quick and microable flying unit)
awesome! i've heard so much that is the legendary game that is broodwar and love sc2 so much so thought i might as well try it out!
