I'd like to tweak the color of the timestamp above the posts. What CSS do I need to change for that? And if I change that, what else is affected by the same definition?

Is there a way (besides guess and check) that I could find that out on my own for various other things instead of coming here and asking every time?

You can find it in the page source. For instance, if you look at the page source for this page and search for 17:33 (that is what I see your post date as), then you'd see this:
<div class="normal">
<!-- status icon and date -->
<a name="post1751867"><img class="inlineimg" src="images/cstyle/blue/statusicon/post_new.gif" alt="Unread" border="0" /></a>

Today, 17:33

<a name="newpost"></a>
<!-- / status icon and date -->
</div>

So, the immediate class which is effecting it is 'normal'. You could change that, or you could just add span tags in the template around where the time is:

<span style="color:red">the code for the time stamp in the postbit/postbit_legacy template</span>
