Welcome!
Don't worry about the nOOb thing. Everyone here is pretty cool about new guys (and gals) asking simple, redundant, or even stupid questions like Does Moho make it's coffee with instant or fresh ground? (the answer is of course that it goes out and gets it from the corner barrister)
2D version of Maya? Kind of but not really. It has much in common (3d elements, particles, FK/IK bones, some new scripting, batch rendering). It's not to that level of complexity (thankfully) and has a bit to go before it reaches that level of ability, but with each update, it makes huge leaps forward (adjustable actions!? Non-linear animation is a fantastic upgrade).
As far as tricks, make sure you do the tutorials in the manual that comes with Moho. Also, check out the other forums, where people are sharing ideas on cool tricks and solving each other's problems.
Again, welcome!
