1) You can't specifically make "curved walls" but play around with the arch tools.

2) Place a player_start entity... that is the size of a marine approximately

For a newbie, I recommend using a cylinder as a template for curved walls. You cannot actually make real curves (just lots of flat faces). The HLRAD compile tool has an option to use phong shading (-smooth) on faces which meet at a low angle, improving the illusion of a true curve. I think this is set on by default.
