hi Ajay,
Welcome to umbraco.
Yes, you can make a shopping cart. You can create your own with user controls, extensions, or however you like. There is an ecom controls that was created a while back, but I am not sure of their status.
You can install more than on package, but it depends on which package as well.
In the developer section, right click on macro, and click import package.
Multiple sites are managed by creating a separate tree structure for each site and assigning hostnames to nodes for domain resolution to a specific tree. Domains can be nested as well. To assign hostnames to a node, right click on the target node and click the hostname option.
Blogs and Forums are simply document types that store each post/comment and a series of macros to show each on the document type's template. For input of comments and posts, the AutoForm or AutoFormPlus package can be used to allow for fast and easy forms.
Membership controls are a package that can be installed to allow for the creation of login pages, profile pages, and more. In umbraco, you can secure* a node by right clicking on the node and selecting the access option. Here, you can assign the login form, and which groups have access to the nodes. Remember that xslt and .NET macros must account for security themselves when displaying the node content.
As for documentation, the best you can probably do is the search here on the forum. It will hit various resources, and provide possible answers. The next best thing to do is ask, but be sure to include a subject line, as it is hard to get to posts when there is not title...
