Not always, makes sense only for multi-file projects.
For simple documents, just place your setups before \starttext

What *does* the LaTeX environment? (Same for every "like in LaTeX"
question - here are not a lot of LaTeX users...)

It is something like this

\startitemize
\item[reference] Describtion of your bibiography
\stopitemize

I found something done by a user in a old Maps article:

http://maps.aanhet.net/maps/pdf/27_14.pdf

I don't why one should us this mothod and not the one provided by Tacos bib module:

some hints here:

but you're right, a page about pagination is missing

There are several different kinds of tables, each uses other setups
for right-aligned columns.
see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview

NEVER use spaces (or ~) for alignment! (That's a very bad typewriter
habit!)
