you can also use the get_included_files() native php function, so you have a list of all included files.

You could also open the moodle source code in PHP Eclipse then ctrl+Click on the function you want to see the definition for, and it'll take you to the file (or files) where it's defined.

Yes. A good editor should let you navigate the code with mouse-clicks and/or keyboard shortcuts. It is worth getting one.

It is worth also having full-text-search, either command line grep -R, or something else. For example you may want to find all the places that call get_records_sql to see examples of how it is used.
