I have heard suggestions that staring at the sun will get your eyes used to it. Not so. The brightness of the sun will damage your eyes if proper protection is not weared during observation.

When the sun passes directly overhead in the tropics - does the sunlight only fall on one specific spot and does the sun still 'look' overhead 20 miles from that spot?

The Sun shines on half of the Earth. If the Sun is DIRECTLY above a certain spot, the sunlight is shining straight down, and the object won't cast any shadow. Someplace 20 miles away, the Sun isn't STRAIGHT up; it's about an arc-minute away from being STRAIGHT up. But you won't be able to tell this without some pretty precise instruments, so it will still "look" like it's overhead. A few minutes earlier or later, and the Sun wouldn't look straight up either.

What must happen for a total eclipse of the sun to occur?

For an eclipse to take place the earth, moon and sun must form a straight line. then the shadow of the earth r the moon will fall upon the moon or the earth, and that is an eclipse. There are two types of eclipses; Solar and lunar. A solar eclipse is when the moon passes in front of the sun causing it to "disappear." A lunar eclipse is when the Earth passes between the sun and moon so that the moon doesn't get light causing it to appear red-ish.
