Can I use MCEdit-Unified to edit anything besides the landscape?

No. MCEdit-Unified does not natively support to edit anything, besides the landscape, on Anvil maps. You can use filters designed to make/create/easily make something that would normally take awhile while in game. From v.1.3.0.0 NBTEdit has been fully integrated. You can use these guy's filters to help you:

SethBling has written a tons of filters, some of them have been bundled with MCEdit since version 0.1.2.
TexelElf tons more to chose from.
Adrian Brightmoore differnt types of filters (depending on the need)
And plenty more on the internet.

I don't want to have to retype everything in the console when I get a bug. Any way to speed this up?

Look inside the MCEdit--/ folder for a file named mcedit.log. This file has the same contents as the console window.
Alternately, to copy the text from a console window on Windows:
*click on the icon at the top left of the window (or press Alt+Space) *choose Edit > Mark from the menu (or press Alt+E, Alt+K) *use the mouse to select the text by clicking and dragging *click the icon again and choose Edit > Copy (or press Alt+E, Alt+C) *paste in a message here inside a code tag - [.code][./code], but without the full stops.

What are those red, yellow, green and brown boxes?

The red, green and brown boxes are Entities - red are mobs, green are dropped items, brown are paintings. The yellow boxes are TileEntities, which include the contents of Chests, Dispensers, and Furnaces. The brown boxes are Paintings. Entities cannot be edited. Some TileEntities can be edited; double-click on one to edit.

Why is there a warning to close Minecraft whenever I use MCEdit-Unified? Minecraft isn't open!

When you click "Save & Quit to Title", Minecraft doesn't completely quit out of the world. Some important parts (the region file headers) are still in Minecraft's memory, so any changes to them will be overwritten if Minecraft is still running. This is what corrupts the world files. To dismiss the message, click OK. If you don't want to see it again, click "Don't remind me again." This will be changed in a future update.

I'm trying to create chunks in the Nether but it doesn't work?

The vanilla Minecraft server was changed to only generate Nether and End chunks if a player is present in those areas.
