This is a rather large set of questions that really doesn't have an easy set of answers. First off, if you are looking for a WYSIWYG editor for the HTML/CSS I am going to assume it's because you're not comfortable with the two. If this is the case then designing an e-commerce site on your own probably isn't quite in your reach yet (I could be wrong, but this is just my opinion). Second the PHP/MYSQL isn't so much what controls how anything will look on a browser. It is how you display the data returned from these technologies with the HTML/CSS that will control this. You need to know that making a good and secure e-commerce website will require an advanced working knowledge of the two and isn't something that can just be done as a beginner project (I'm not sure what your experience with the two are). And thirdly templates are easy to edit as long as you are comfortable editing CSS/HTML. If you're not comfortable editing those then no, they are not easy to edit :)
