As for body fat percentage, no you don't have to pay for an expensive test. I think you can get a body fat caliper on ebay way cheap, and then you can do it yourself. I think if you search for "Bodyfat measure" on ebay it will yield good finds... Those are better than some other tests too from what I understand.
I think it's important to really keep track of what you're eating to start out. Like write down everything you eat for a week, then you can figure out about calories and all that stuff later. But read those links, there's a ton of good info there.
