So for some primers are some threads or sites which helped me figure out what was going on.

-This massively post explained simply some of the things that happened in some of the original ARR trailers and the old game,and was what helped me figure out what was going on.

-From the RPC, RP forums by resident lore expert Merri. This is a more indepth look at the story from 1.0 which may help.
To answer some of your questions:
The warriors of light are the "legacy" player characters who participated in the Battle of Cartenaeu, the people who were sent through time by Louisoix (the old man) in the trailer. Though I haven't seen the reason in game reason for the loss of memory, I personally believe their faces were forgotten due to the fact that they were removed from "time" during the five years, and that after their return people will begin to remember them.
The crystal stuff is your a "crystal bearer" you gain a bit of power by being chosen by planet as one of its champions. This is a common connection with other final fantasy games, many of them feature the crystal bearers.
I have no clue who the masked man is yet, as I haven't gotten that far in the story yet.
The Garlean Empire is from another continent, and pretty much they're attempting to conquer the world, or "save it." They use magitech an advanced form of technology and magic combined since most Garleans can't use magic. They decided to drop the moon "meteor" cause the war wasn't really going in their favor at the time, I believe and some of the crazier people in charge figured it would be easier to just wipe out Eorzea. The dragon destorying the ship and the one that popped out of the moon "Bahamut" are different. Bahamut was the dragon trying to turn the world in to the "eighth hell" The serpentine dragon destroying the ship in essence was fighting for Eorzea, but for the beast tribes. If you have more indepth questions about the Garlean Empire, Merri knows a lot more about specifics.
I won't spoil who Yda and Papalymo are, around level 20ish the main story will introduce all of them and what they are doing.
The outfit is the Artifact gear, for the job which is attached to your class. Essentially what you will be in the future should you stay on your classes path.
These floating scenes are "visions" of a sort where you are communicating with Hydaelyn (the planet.)
