I don't think there is a document, but the list is below, with my notes:
  1. Datetime - For a date & time
  2. Email - Email address
  3. Float - For numbers with decimal values
  4. Formula - See here: https://community.marketo.com/MarketoArticle?id=kA050000000Kyp3CAC
  5. Integer - For whole numbers
  6. Percent - Percentages ;)
  7. Phone - Phone numbers, functionally I think this works like text
  8. Score - Scores, which are whole numbers
  9. String - Shorter text
  10. Text Area - Longer text
  11. Url - Functionally like text, but web addresses

No, if you make a Marketo field it doesn't automatically make a field in SF. Any fields you make in Admin under Marketo would be Marketo only fields.

About the multiple options. Let's say you wanted wanted to ask about product interest:

Product A
Product B
Product C
(check all that apply)

Each Product would have a checkbox by it on the form. The way you'd do this is make three fields of type checkbox, one for A, B, and C.
