Lie algebras are algebraic structures which were introduced to study the concept of infinitesimal transformations. The term "Lie algebra" (after Sophus Lie) was introduced by Hermann Weyl in the 1930s. In older texts, the name "infinitesimal group" is used. Related mathematical concepts include Lie groups and differentiable manifolds.

Can one easily pick out a basis of a simple Lie algebra after picking a convex order?

What you are trying to do is done in complete detail in Leclerc's paper "Dual canonical bases, quantum shuffles and q-characters" (MR) based on the paper "Standard Lyndon bases of Lie algebras and en …

Killing form vs its counterpart in a given represenation

These two forms are proportional provided $\mathfrak{g}$ is simple. For the semi-simple case, you can rescale on each of the simple factors.

How do I stop worrying about root systems and decomposition theorems (for reductive groups)?

I don't really understand what you are asking for. Root systems are geometric objects associated to finite reflection groups. Try reading Jim Humphrey's "Reflection Groups and Coxeter Groups" for a ve …

Realizing higher level Fock spaces

For $\mathfrak{gl}_{\infty}$ the answer is easy, you realize the Fock space as a direct limit of polynomial representations of finite $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ modules. You can read about the construction her …

Does some version of U_q(gl(1|1)) have a basis like Lusztig's basis for \dot{U(sl_2)}?

Kashiwara has developed some crystal theoretic methods for the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{q}(n)$. However, I think you should look at Khovanov, to get an idea of what it should look like.
