Newbie questions

Hello,
There is more to pedaling and getting everything all sized up correctly then I ever imagined there would be. Wow.
When I'm normal riding are my feet suposed to stay level?
When they say that your leg should be slightly bent at the knee with the pedal all the way down, what angle is the ankle joint? Is the foot level? Or is the toes pointed down.



Also from what I gather wearing boxers can make the gentlemen sore. I normally just ride in jeans. I like the leg protection they provide. Should I get some tighty whities to hold the gentlemen more securly? Or maybe angle the saddle forward. I'll have to play around with my seat. Most the sore groin threads I found were talking about the sit bone contacting the seat. I have no problem there. My "sit" bone contacts the saddle/seat.
Ive noticed that it's rather hilly where I live. All my rides start with a downhill coast and end going up hill.
