Hi Trung,
I'll try to answer what I can (:

  1. there's an even better system than that if you want to control the system tridimensionality of a character, it just requires two bones, a transform constraint, and weighting the meshes correctly. You can find an example of that (and the explanation of how to do it) here: Twitch: Rigging in Spine Pt. 1 - YouTube
    We also have Alpha in the animations that allows you to control how much an expression/a direction is applied to your character at runtime. You can't key it in a Spine animation but it's really nice to use programmatically. (you can find the alpha setting in the Preview panel, next to the animation tracks, as well as in the Skeleton Viewer application)

  2. If you press "Generate" while creating your mesh, Spine will automatically add points to it. I still think the best meshes are achieved with the fewest points possible, and placed by hand. Meshes - Spine User Guide: Generate

  3. That would require baking the animation, it was already discussed in other topics, you can read why it's not feasable here: Spine v3.. this look a good feature to implement
    Fortunately secondary motion is not so difficult to achieve in Spine (: for example you can first get all the bones of a chain into a direction, then offset them one after the other. Dopesheet - Spine User Guide: Key Offset

  4. If you press F1 Spine will display instant tooltips for whatever your mouse is hovering, the tooltips include Hotkeys suggestions. You can also find a cheat sheet at this link: Spine: Cheat Sheet
    and if you open your hotkeys file, you'll find more!

It's normal to forget some things when you're just beginning (: Did you already see the training videos? Spine User Guide - Getting Started - YouTube I found them very useful to understand the program when I was learning it. The user guide is a great resource too: Spine User Guide
