Jira can be very powerful as a tracker, from simple "one liner" to "complex forms" and with processes from "open and done" through to "this has to go through 250 stages with hundreds of people having a say".
Up front, it looks a bit complicated, as it is trying to advertise flexibility, but I would recommend a healthy ignorance there - feel free to ignore all the complexity you don't need.
Picking bits of your question:
"pick a filter so I can get stuff done" - there's loads of flexibility in filters, and the easy answer here is to use "assigned to me". Atlassian have adopted that - you'll see "assigned to me" used by default in many places.
"collect issues and shwo them in advance plans" - run a search for the issues you want in the plans, save it as a "filter", then give that to the plans.
#sbs #abs - actually, you'll find it easier and more flexible to use labels in Jira, but there's nothign wrong with using hashtags to mention stuff externally

ARGH is completely the right response. I say "response" rather than "answer" because it's been my response to every... single... job... I've started since I moved over to the Atlassian side. And a significant proportion of the projects I've started since I moved to Adaptavist.
The "answer" is contextual and depends very heavily on what you want to do and how you think you'd like to achieve it.
