Always use F ("solids"). I don't know what you mean when you say "dropping the ceiling" but whenever you have a wall that is supposed to go from the floor to ceiling, use F. Don't pull down ceilings and raise the floor, trying to close that gap.
Fog colour is a hex number. You can use the values from those typical colour pickers you find in image programs (for example gimp or photoshop, maybe even paint).

To delete all spawns at once, use the /clearents command.
For example "/clearents playerstart" will delete all playerstarts.
Secret walls: There are tricks to do this in AC, but I advise not to do it. It's bad design, since you can shoot through them, but not see through them - bad for gameplay. Also, they have "noob mapper" written on them automatically ;)
Read the documentation! (readme.html) It explains a lot of these things.
