how do you properly mint stuff. Like some mints require you to click "mint" and some require you to visit a site and cast it first. I am confused.

The complete answer here is "it depends". Some of the stuff you're seeing "Mint" requires minting with your wallet, others can use Warps in 1 click...which is honestly, truly a dream once you've experienced it. The other cast thing you're talking about is Frames, but that RC meta stuff is going to die soon (rightly so)
