Default Noob, first kegerator questions!

Evening everyone. I got a sweet b-day present from the finance this year, a kegerator. It is a Nostalgia brand from walmart, and the instructions were pretty poor as to the correct operating procedures.

I have everything hooked up, CO2 tank filled, keg tapped etc as of about an hour ago.

Question: Do I open the CO2 tank all the way or just a little bit, the instructions dont say? The CO2 tank reads about 50, I assume that is the amount of CO2 in the tank.

Question: The beer comes out at an incredible speed and looks to be all foam. Is this normal for some amount of time?

I found this review on my kegerator:
"SIMPLY TURN THE BLUE KNOB ON THE REGULATOR TO ADJUST THE RATE OF FLOW/MINIMIZE THE HEAD."

That blue knob is the shutoff valve on the regulator piece with the gauge. You think this is something I should mess with?

Thanks for any tips! I'm excited to join the club.
