Your stylesheet will allow you to do a lot of things with the look of your category listing.
Firefox and its Web Developer extension will help you find what classes and ids to style (Information > Display Element Information button) and test styling changes (CSS > Edit CSS button).

You will need to know something about CSS to do any real styling. Look at https://www.w3schools.com if you need help there.

Yes, that would be a good start. You don't "create" a class in the stylesheet - you can enter any name you want there, but unless there is already a class tag in your code it will be useless. (This is really a semantic issue; you appear to have the process correct.)
