Noob questions about tire sizes

Hello,

I am new to bike riding and just purchased a "Marin Muirwoods 29er" I am looking to purchase spare tubes and maybe change tire sizes. Currently i have Continental Town Ride tires that have a big 29 on them which from what i have read here is just marketing crap. The tire size i see on the sidewall is 28x1.6 42-622 the rims are Alex TD-20. 95% of my riding is paved bike paths in good weather.

I think this is a "700C" tire so i just need a 700x40 tube? which manufacture would you reccommend?

As far as tires was looking for something narrower in maybe the 30 range? What size range would fit? The bike has disk brakes, any thoughts here would be greatly appreciated.

I appoligize for the noob questions but the tire sizes are very confusing

Thank You,

Ray
