Hey there!
1Q. To create mountains, press H and scroll up. To create slopes, hold G until you have a large grid size (preferably one that still fits inside your map ;) ) press H and then scroll up.
2Q. No, you have to create the models yourself. There may be house models out there, but for Sandbox you must create them yourself.
3Q. Well, for one, you can create the land you want your game to be in. I.e. forests, mountains, valleys, cities etc. Then, with some help from the community, you can code Inventory's, Shops, Talks, etc.
4Q. No, Sandbox is not just a terrain builder. (As I just mentioned above ;) ) You can create RPG's, SSP's, FPS', and more.
Have fun sandboxing!

It takes skill and patience working with mountains, one thing i learned is to try to stick with one grid size!, don't be changing grid sizes a lot while editing mountains it will mess everything up.

start with making the walls, cover the top and make a roof with lines of blocks and flatten them up with G so that it makes a triangle shape " / \ "

Hold "G" and scroll to change the size to 3, then, create a block thats x in length y in width and 4 in height. Create a door thats 3 in height and 2 in width, create windows at 2 in height and 2 in length. mHold "G" and scroll to Gsize 2, Select the inside of the block leaving 1 gridsize 2 block all the way around. Create a cieling using gsize 2. If ypu want a staircase. Use gsize 2 and create a square at the bottom thats 4x4 and at the top thats 4x4, Always keep the height of rooms as 3.5, That gives a better effect. Roofs should be gsize 3, Select one side and hold "Q" and scroll whilst aiming at the corners of the cubes.

Hope this Helps
