I don't know if you've seen Google's getting started documentation yet, but it's got a great DIY tutorial for getting an app up and running.

You are going to be at a bit of a disadvantage if you don't know Java yet, but that's no reason not to dive right in to GAEJ -- just make sure you have the Java API handy to look things up as you go.

It depends on what you are doing. You actually don't need to know any Java at all to host an application on GAE. HTML and the Eclipse Plugin are good enough.

If you want to do more complex things, though such as using the Datastore or User Authentication, then I suggest learning Java. You can try to use GAE as an outlet to learn Java, i.e. learn them simultaneously.
