Hi.

Until I better understand your words here is my best answer:

By default at the sides around the screen the rulers appear. You can toggle them by pressing Ctrl+R.
That can help navigating while working on a drawing.
The triangles indicate graphically where the cursor is at, and, at the bottom row of the screen to the right is a numeric position indicator, nex to the zoom indicator.

You can set a different base unit for the document at the document's properties panel (Ctrl+Shift+D).
It is set to pixels by default. By switching to another measure, the rulers marks change too.

There is a rectangle on the screen, showing the page borders.
It is set by default to A4 portrait size, you can change the size and can turn it's visibility off at the document's properties panel.

Drawing works mostly by node editing.

Check out this site for tutorials to see how is working in basic:

Good luck!
