I suggest looking at the Content Construction Kit (CCK) to make content types and views for listing content. You can achieve a lot with those two modules. Since CCK extends core's concept of content types you also have access to a number of modules that can extend content types.

Each Drupal module generaly

Each Drupal module generaly creates and handle its own DB tables and give you an interface to manage it.
For dif user roles you can use Drupal's core roles and permissions, if you want a full featured store or something like that, try Ubercart module http://drupal.org/project/ubercart .
