Limit and no limit are very different games. You'll have to relearn a new game, basically. So read up on limit hold 'em before you go.
As for the other stuff, don't worry about any of it. Cardrooms are the least "loud and colorful" part of the casino. The players are usually pretty nice unless they feel like you put a bad beat on them.
Just try to watch for the norms that might not be present in your home game. Most winners tip the dealer (1 chip, or whatever). If you routinely stiff the dealer, then some players might give you a hard time about it. Most places let the blinds "chop" if the table folds to the small blind. If that's the case, then go along and "chop" when it happens. And don't take a long time in the "tank" to make a decision at limit like you do in no limit. It's generally OK to take a while over a decision in no limit, but it's frowned on in limit.
