Yes, it usually helps ;)

That's a quite challenging way to get started - security system is very 
complex and difficult to master. I'd recommend that you read carefully 
everything you can find about ERP5 security, it is now relatively well 
documented.

Nope. There is a script ERP5Site_reindexAll, which does exactly that. 
Run it in the context of your site and it will reindex everything.

To make things easier, you can try erp5admin, it has some handy tools 
also for reindexing site, monitoring object security and many other things.
