If not, how am I supposed to customize the <title>, etc.?

Re: index.html - - - - where art thou?

thre is no index.html page

the layout is dynamic,

most of the changes you need to make will be in the includes/languages files

a good place tostart would be in the wiki, once there search for template

Merlin1969 is right but
it could be that you're looking for define page which would be at
admin>Tools>Define Pages Editor
click on the select a file to edit...check box
then define_main_page.php
select Text editor HTMLarea

Re: index.html - - - - where art thou?

Ah.. ok. Now I get it. Sort of.

includes/languages/english.php

^^

//define('TITLE', 'THIS IS THE TITLE?');
//define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'MYSITETITLE?');

Is that where the title changes?

actually you will look in
includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php

make your changes and then follow the rules about using the over rides, and place the file inside

includes/languages/english/YOUR TEMPLATE/

the define pages editor is for the center content

thanks Merlin1969 I forgot to mention that one.
man

Make sure you do not toss the other english.php file
if you make changes includes/languages/english.php file and you do an upgrade any changes in the past will not show up in the future unless you saved them to an override folder
