to balance the tonearm, put the cartridge on and twiddle the weight until the thing balances. on the weight there is a movable ring. you want to twist that ring so that the weight stays put and the 0 on the ring lines up with the line on the post. now twiddle the weight until the recommended weight for the needle is attained.
the small metal plate with two holes in it is a headshell. that is what your cartridge attaches to

i'm plugging it into a reciever with a phono input and a ground, so i'm good with that (i've been through that before- a couple of years ago i had no reciever and i tried to plug my speakers directly up to the turntable. needless to say, this didn't work, so i had to return the turntable!)
so i put the small metal plate between the thing with the wires and the cartridge?
it looks like this (ASCII drawings are ghetto)
