I will give you a short answer, you may consult Mathias Schreiber [1] 
for more information. He may assists you in spreading the word about TYPO3.

I think without an integrator which has a good knowledge about TYPO3 it 
will stay hard. But on the other hand: every knowlege gathered with 
TYPO3 will bring you to a stable and secure CMS :)

the days of TV are gone. TV has some drawbacks which some successors 
also have.
the best way for you is fluid and the core extension 
Fluid-Styled-Content for own/new content elements. it is a templating 
engine similar to smarty. meanwhile most extensions use fluid for 
templating.

theming a website is not so easy than in wordpress, but there is a small 
community which wants to change it and already provides some themes.

there are some shop-solutions, but I have no clue about spanish payment 
gateways. but TYPO3 is open and has the possibility to enhance it 
everywhere (if you are/have a good PHP programmer)
