Answer 1

Start by reading the usual tutorials - the ones from the sun Java3D page will give you some idea of what you can do with the API.
If by the "box" object you mean a cube then you could describe rudimentary walls using it, but you will need to do a lot more to create a convincing room (I have done something quite similar, but not using any of the standard Shape3D type objects and using a modelling program to create furnishings in the room.)
While you're getting started you may also want to look at the handy new dawn software tutorials here: http://www.newdawnsoftware.com/tutorials/tutorials.html as well. If you're serious about it, you will probably want to read the Selman book on Java3D.
