Ha. You kind of sounds like me two weeks ago. BE WARNED. One day I was like, la la la, VM, huh? I'd seen a few eps and they didn't really do anything for me, but my fl seemed into it, so I downloaded it, and now I'm one of those crazy VM people. It's sad. ;-P
So my answer to your #1 would definitely be to watch the first season if you can, not spoil yourself for it. The arc is threaded throughout all the episodes, so it's good to sit down with it all at once. I'm so glad I got to watch it that way. Plus, season 2 wouldn't have the same resonance without that background, obviously.
#2 - It's not very teen angsty, no. I like how it's not really a show that's about couples and pairing characters together, although fandom will lead you to believe something different...
#3 - I have no idea. I'm really just getting into VM, so I'm not up on all that stuff yet. I didn't even know he was guesting. That's... huh.
