It seems like the find people search has been gone for a while. Pretty much everyone I'm following I got to via them either being followed by someone else or being mentioned in someone else's twitter. If there are people you know are on there that you want to find, a lot of the time searching Google for their name and the word twitter will find them for you.
Oh, and I think public is usually the way to go, unless you're planning on tweeting things that're only intended for friends/family.
How do you add people? I can't do it by hitting Add because the Twitter search function isn't working. If I visit their page, I don't see a way to add them, unless I'm missing something.
Yes, the follow button. Also, look at who friends of yours are following.
RE: public or private updates--I have it set to approve followers. I inherited a Web-stalker a couple months ago, and I see no reason to make said stalker's work easier.
A month or so ago, I switched from Public to Protected, because I was getting spammed. eg You mention shopping in a public entry, and Shopping profiles start adding you.

Oh, and if you do know someone's twitter handle, you can just go to http://twitter.com/theirnamehere and hit the follow button.

I can't believe I'm doing all this stuff. Between Twitter and Facebook, it's like living on a 24/7 conference call.

You have to replace "theirnamehere" with the person's actual twitter handle.
