What you describe is legal. There is no rule that says you can only play one card per type during your turn. The rule is each player may only play one card per type during each step of encountering a card.
For example, if you encounter a monster and the monster deals damage to you before you act, you could play an armor to absorb that damage. If you then fail to defeat the monster and suffer combat damage, you could play another armor to absorb that damage. If the monster then deals damage to you after you act, you could play a third armor for that damage.

... but you could not play 3 armors to absorb the combat damage (unless the card says otherwise, like a shield)
You have to decide before you roll; after you've rolled, you can't modify the roll except with reroll powers, or powers that explicitly let you alter a roll already made (for example, "if you would fail a check by 4 or less, bury this card to succeed instead.")
Undefeated Barriers are shuffled back in unless they say otherwise. (Same as a Monster.)
Barriers whose text leaves them next to the Location are encountered before any other cards in the Location. Generally you use your free exploration for that, but if somehow there's more than one and you have extra explores, you can pick the order.

No need to apologize, Lucidious. Lots of folks here like to help out players with questions.
However, there is also a FAQ section for each of the games (the Runelords one is here) which you could try. Those are usually the questions which were asked by many of the people who answer questions now :)
In particular, if you are playing Rise of the Runelords, the first entry "I'm just generally unclear about a lot of things. Can you help?" is a very good one to read. I believe it was included in later rulebooks. I'd also skim the rest of the FAQ to know which cards have eratta/corrected wording, and other things that seem unclear.
You might also find this guide helpful. Good luck on your adventure, and don't hesitate to ask questions along the way. Anyone not asking any questions is either a designer or probably playing wrong.
You choose from the two options presented. So Lem would be wise to choose Arcane, which for him means Charisma +1.
Each check to defeat or acquire a card lists one or more skills; you may choose any of the listed skills for your check. For example, if a check lists Dexterity, Disable, Strength, and Melee, you may use any one of those skills to attempt your check.
