Sure. repositories or repos as they are known are centralized sources of software (packages) they are OS independent but as backtrack is basically a heavily modified version of Ubuntu it is possible to add those repos to the list and install packages from them. I will hazard a guess and say you are quite new to Linux and as such I would recommend staying away from distros like backtrack as they are a pain even for quite experienced users as they are known to be quite buggy (hence the problems you are facing) if you want to learn Linux I would suggest either Ubuntu (which you can use the backtrack repos with) or Linux Mint as these are quite noobie friendly giving you chance to learn the OS a bit before messing around configuring backtrack (which is designed for advanced users)

People use backtrack for tutorials because most of the tools used come pre-installed there is no reason you can't use something like Ubuntu and just install things as you need them. Learning to use Linux before you learn about the tools in backtrack will be better for you at this stage thise things come later.

Not on hand no, the best way to learn is join a forum that specializes in your chosen distro and learn from those guys. There probably are good books but I don't know any of the names off the top of my head.
