My Model from previously referenced diagram:
  workspace -->index-->local repository --> remote repository
All this is on my local machine except for the remote repo which is at git.eclipse.org

1. I 'commit' to move a file from workspace to local repo.
    So the file decorator ">" in project explorer goes away.
    How do I know what i still need to "push" to finish what I'm used to doing with a CVS commit?

I don't think Egit indicates this. If you not sure whether you already pushed you can always just redo it. Because it doesn't do anything if you already have done. 

On the console "git status" prints "Your branch is ahead of 'origin/ptp_5_0' by 1 commit" if you haven't pushed yet. 

    Is there a way to know what pending stuff needs to do up to remote repo?

Right click->Team->Show in History

Click on "Show all changes in repository" (yellow barrel icon)  if you the commit doesn't affect the resources you right clicked

You should see both a commit tagged with HEAD and one with origin/ptp_5_0 (or origin/master). The commits between HEAD and origin/* will be pushed.

2. Then how do you do the 'push' ? on the whole project?  Team -> Push To Upstream?

3. What is customary/easiest way to update everything in the workspace?
    Select all projects and do Team -> Pull?

Both push and pull is always on the whole repository. You cannot push/pull only a single project. So if you have only PTP in your workspace than clicking any resource will push/pull all. If you also of Photran/Doc than you need to select one resource of each to push/pull all.

4. How do i 'synchronize' a container e.g. a project?
    In CVS that showed me how my files differed from what was on the remote repo.
    That showed me what i had changed, what changed on the remote repo, and let me do diffs on selected files.

If you want to compare your workspace with your index than: 

Right click project(s)->Team->Synchronize Workspace

Or 

Right click resource->Compare With (here you have the choice between HEAD/Index/...)

Or in the Git Reposository View

Right click a branch (or remote tracking branch) -> Synchronize Workspace (compares the whole workspace with that branch)

The history view also shows the changed files in each commit.
