Please check out one of the many fine Emacs tutorials, as well as the built in tutorial (C-h t or M-x help-with-tutorial). They will help you understand the basics of how Emacs works, and will also help you clarify your questions.

Emacs maintains a list of open buffers that you can switch between using e.g. C-x b or C-x C-b. You don't need to kill a buffer in order to look at another one...

Could you please clarify your question? (There is bury-buffer, but so far I don't know if it matches your idea of "true" minimization, so I don't know if it fits the bill.)
