1. C/B basically means a C chord, but with the lowest note being a B. C/B specifically is usually a transition between a C and an Am chord.
2. First it'll come back as pain -- this is the difficult transitional stage. When you've been playing for a while (weeks, maybe), then the feeling won't come back. This is a good thing. However, you might want to make sure you use XL strings at the beginning.
3. No idea -- I basically learned to play by ear and with the help of some friends.
Okay. Two chord symbols seperated by a slash (say, G/B) mean that it's a G-chord, but with a B base? Make sense? It means that the lowest note in the chord will be a B, not a G. I suggest you find a good chord chart and learn a couple of them at a time. After a while, you'll get the idea and you'll be able to play chords that aren't on your chart, simply because you'll know how they're made. I'm afraid I don't know about any specific book for it, but I do know that several are available. You should ask at a music store, they usually have several.
Also, if you play long enough, the feeling in your fingertips will never return completely. (I hardly even play anymore, so all my calluses are gone, but I still can't feel nearly as well with my left fingers as with my right.) This is a good thing, because it won't hurt anymore when you play. Eventually, you won't even notice anymore.

A good book to learn folk guitar : "la guitare à Dadi" from Marcel Dadi or "l'anti-méthode de guitare folk" from Steve Waring (I'm pretty sure they have been translated)
