Great references, you will need a garagegames.com account to view them (this is free):

Very incomplete but has some miscellaneous guides:

A basic guide on the forums:

If you plan on making interiors, you should read some of these articles. They are mostly written for half-life 2/hammer editor, but many of them will also apply to Torque, particularly the articles on clipping, carving, arches, details, etc. Also note that you can use the hammer editor to make interiors, in which case this site will be invaluable.

Mapping is something you have to teach yourself. You can read guides and ask questions but there's no class you can attend to learn it and nobody has the time to teach you through remote desktop or voice chat.
