Most of the question asked can be solved just by reading:

Did you try this yet
pacman -Q
If its not exactly what you need then try
man pacman

I use pacman -Q
but that only list programs installed by pacman.
You could check the Wiki for more information
or the man page.

I'll add http://www.archlinux.org/packages/ for its superior "discoverability" (html interface).
Let's say you want to check what that 'firefox' thing is:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/firefox/
Description: Standalone web browser from mozilla.org
Dependencies (2)
* desktop-file-utils
* xulrunner =1.9.2.4
Cool. But what is 'xulrunner'? Click and you'll know :-)

You mean "pacman -Ql <pkgname>"?

If you really want a list of all programs installed, how about this :
ls ${PATH//:/ }
"You can watch for your administrator to install the latest kernel with watch uname -r" - From the watch man page

Is it winter in NZ? If so you can spend those long, dark, lonely afternoons, when your car gets snowed under etc. in a productive way by wrapping it like this:
for app in $(ls ${PATH//:/ }); do
man $app
done
:-D

Indeed it is. That sounds like great fun
