Sorry Nedus, I haven't even gotten around to installing the HEK yet, even after all these months, so I can't take you any farther than pointing you in the right direction. I know there is a tutorial that is usually distributed along with the HEK that can help you get started. If there wasn't one on the site you downloaded from, check the link in my sig again and there should be some mirrors listed there for the tutorial as well.
Also, if you have questions concerning the HEK or anything editing-related once you've read the tutorial, you should probably consider posting in the Gearbox Editing forum. Just don't post questions that have been asked 1,000,000 times before or that are easly answered by doing research on your own. You might even find the answer to your questions just by searching/browsing that forum.
To add my two cents to your other question, my personal favorite site for downloading maps is HaloWorld
