They show you keys that you can use to activate those menus and items on menus. Pressing and holding the Alt key and then the F key will open the file menu. Pressing X then, would select the Exit option and close Excel. Alt activates the menu bar. You can use these keys to do things quickly. Alt - E - C is Alt, Edit menu, Copy option.

Copy and paste does work in Excel. There are in fact many ways of copying and pasting in Excel, using the mouse, menus or keyboard. You may have a specific problem, so it may depend on what you are copying and how you are doing it.
Both have File, Edit, Format, View, Insert, Format, Tools, Window and Help menus. Word has also got a Table menu, which Excel doesn't. Excel has a Data menu, which Word doesn't. On the menus they both have a lot of options are the same, but some options are quite different. For example Word's Insert menu won't have options like Cells, Rows and Columns that Excel will have, but will have options like Autotext, Reference and Field, that Excel won't have. As the two applications are for different jobs, they are naturally going to have different options. Some things will be common, like options to open, close and save files, or to cut, copy and paste things. Options on the Tools and Format menus in each application are going to be different because they are for different tasks. The same applies to other applications which will have a lot of the same menus and options and also have menus and options that are specific to those applications.
Excel 2007 does not have menus, but has what are known as ribbons. The various options are grouped and displayed on different ribbons. Options that would have been in menus and toolbars are displayed on the ribbons.
The main ones are: File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Tools, Data, Window and Help. At times others will appear, like a Chart menu when you have a chart selected.

Broadly speaking, yes it would. It would have all the standard window options and then have menus and toolbars etc. What is in those menus and toolbars would differ and there would be some menus that do not exist in other applications. One nice thing about using Windows applications is that as much as possible things look the same and have similar layouts and ways of doing things. In that way, Excel is similar to the other Microsoft Office programs.
in Microsoft word you go into one of the menus then it is called drop-cap. I don't know whether this is only in the 2010 Word or in the others to.
they are organised into toolbars, which in turn contain icons with different tools
