The Wiki documentation I'll be posting this week will very clearly delineate the purpose of each project, but yeah, that's about it.  spi/impl-base defines a "Server" as "just some thing that has a simple lifecycle".  spi-mc extends this to tie into the Microcontainer Kernel/Controller.  And spi-as brings in all the AS-specific constructs/configuration.  The goal is for many AS subprojects to use spi-mc directly to create their own slim/custom runtimes for testing, and then these may be consumed entirely by AS later.

patchBaseDir$>patch -p < /location/to/patch

...assuming you're on *nix.  But in the future I'll base off "trunk", N/P.

Again, Wikis this week will take out a lot of the guesswork.

This is something we'd adopted with some success in EJB3.  Basically the JIRA-issue namespace allows us to be very clear about which classes are used in which tests.  For shared/common stuff, the ".jbbootXX" package isn't necessary, but in some cases its convenient to show the isolation.  I'm not going to enforce any hard-and-fast rules here.  So long as everything is tested in readable/obvious form, do what makes most sense to you.

Great.  Whatever IDE you prefer is your choice; I'm just best equipped to help you out on Eclipse.

Let's get you logged into the new webapp; it'll make the .org team proud. :) Then I can expedite your application.
